Starting with Barracuda NG Firewall 4.2.13, OVA images for VMWare were made available. OVA images based on
minor release 4.2.13 have a bug which might lead to loss of the current network configuration when updating to
Barracuda NG Firewall minor releases 4.2.14 or 5.0.1.
To avoid a loss of the network configuration, please make sure to configure your network settings before
updating virtual appliances based on 4.2.13 OVA images to 4.2.14 or 5.0.1 using Barracuda NG Admin at least
once. Also, a network activation is required.
This issue does not apply to fresh installations based on 4.2.14 or 5.0.1 OVA images.
