Upgrading Firebox - version 6 to 7

[rmnewbie]

Does anyone have an reservations about upgrading a Firebox 1000 from version 6 to 7? Watchguard is recommending it to resolve some MUVPN issues.

Any thoughts?

Best regards,
Rob

I have done it and every thing was ok, just make a backup of your config first.

I've upgraded 2 1000's and 3 700's. No problems before or after.

I've had problems in the past doing upgrades where I would completely lose IKE, and of course it was always with customers who had tons of mission critical vpn's. This was usually a whole version or more upgrade, so a 5 to 6 or more. Last time it was 5 to 6.2 when it crapped out. But I don't want to scare anyone, I have done tons of upgrades (20 plus) and 98% of the time they have gone without a problem.
