USG 50 at 2.21(BDS.1) to 3.30 direct firmware update ?

Hello,

We have a potential new customer that is asking us to bid for migrating their USG 50 currently at 2.21(BDS.1) to 3.30.

We do not have a great experience with the USG 50.

Does such a migration make sense or shall we go the route upgrading in order like 2.21(BDS.5) then 3.00 then 3.30?? Which would impact downtime.

A part of getting their firewall to the last version, their goal is to use the L2TP over IPSec native on their Mac clients instead of IPSecuritas.

Any hints or gotchas appreciated.

Cheers,

Olivier @ OCIM

Even though ZyXel says the config will be converted, I'm pretty sure based on experience that you'll have to re-configure from scratch.
My suggestion is to do one machine and let's see how it goes, but be prepared to reset to defaults after upgrade and reconfigure from scratch by hand.
