ASG220 Users seek V7 answers...

Dakrisht
Hey Everyone,

We're currently running an ASG 220 v. 6.312. (we could not upgrade to 3.313 because the Up2Date detected an error one of the definition files).

We currently have email, content, spam, etc... filtering and Platinum Support.
We spoke to our subscription reseller who advised us that our "subscriptions" will not work with V.6xx ?? Right now, everything seems to be working on the device.

Here's a question: Should we go ahead and use the Up2Date "Upgrade to V7" option and proceed with upgrading the ASG 220 hardware appliance to v7?

How's v7 operating so far on users' systems? stability? problems? known issues?

We also understand that certain settings and rules will not transfer over, but we don't think that's a major issue.

Our network architecture: DSL -> Astaro -> HP Switch -> End Users, File Servers, Print Servers, etc.

Thanks for everyone's help in advance.

    I don't know what your reseller's talking about, the subscriptions do carry over to the new version, so long as the license is current.  Although Version 7 will read a Version 6 license OK, it just takes a click or two in the licensing portal to upgrade it to a "real" Version 7 license.

    You will want to up2date to 6.313 first before you do the in-place upgrade.  If you can't do that, you can also get the latest "sai" iso (don't use the one for software installs that is found on the public FTP site) from your reseller, and load it from a bootable USB CD-ROM drive.

    You will need an UNENCRYPTED copy of your V6 config, of course.  IPS, VPN, HTTP / SMTP / POP3 Proxy settings do not carry over, so do take screen shots of your V6 config so you will have something to reference when you start to add these features back in on your Version 7 installation.

    As far as performance goes, I've found that the 220s we've upgraded for customers work just fine with Version 7 on them, if not better.  That wasn't true when Version 7 was first released, but now with the new HTTP Proxy, etc. they perform just fine.  We waited to upgrade customers to Version 7 a little longer than most, the waiting paid off.
