Well, i have been looking in this forum quite a while to get a feel for the problems that may arise updating to v7.
To try things out, i installed the home edition (in my home), and despite others opinions on the forum it gives me a lot of bang for the bucks.
I have no problems with torrents and other stuff, and i find the home edition excellent to use for work from home with vpn, SIP proxy etc working fine.
Now to my concerns:
I use a version 6 at the office, a 50 user license which i am almost abusing now since we got IP based surveillance and also a IP based PBX.
So i solved this by putting two new VLANS, one for the cameras, one for the phones. None of these have access to the internet, but goes from one VLAN to another for the videoserver/pbx.
So in V6 either the phones (around 15 of them) and the cameras (around 20) uses any licenses since they talk vlan to vlan but not to the internet.
We also have 3 web servers through the astaro for our webshop which is mission critical.
So, here is my concerns:
I have quite a hefty configuration in the V6, is it possible to read the backups from V6 into V7 or do i have to redo it all again?
If i upgrade to v7, and my units for one reason or another starts to go over the 50 limit (guest laptops, traffic from vlan to vlan). Will the firewall "block" some adresses? Will there be any risk that the blocked adresses will be our mission critical webservers?
In v7 i also cant find the function to reset the counters like in v6.
How do people do when they want to change the IP range for some reason?
Change one unit at a time and wait for a week?
I know i can use extra routers to do another NAT into the astaro, but then i lose all reporting and ease of use which was the reason to buy it in the first place.
Any opinions on this issue would be most helpful.
