Hey Guys,
I have a RB1200 running 5.11 and I need to upgrade it to the latest(5.21). I falsely assumed when I received the RB1200 it would have the latest firmware and I didn't realize it wasn't the latest until it was already in production. I'm a MT noob - sorry. *facepalm*
The MT wiki states you might lose parts of your configuration during an upgrade if there have been severe changes between the versions. But the Wiki doesn't do a well enough job explaining it (alteast of what I could find). I'm using the box as a Layer 2 bridge firewall and I could rebuild the rule set no problem due to my 3-5 backups. I'm more concerned about losing it's management I.P. address, thus preventing me from getting into it to fix anything after the upgrade.
Concerns:
Has anyone performed the upgrade I'm attempting to do? How was the outcome?
Do upgrades fail for any reason other than people not checking MD5 hashes?
Any other concerns anyone can think of? Trying to get this thing upgrade remotely since it's 2 hours away from me. Thoughts? Anyone have upgrade war stories because I'd like to hear them.
Thanks,
Doogs
