Address group change and upgrade

Starting with SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA 6.4.1.r5, custom IP addresses created by the user must be in an intranet IP pool address. Every custom address must be part (not whole) of a subnet of an intranet IP pool address. The subnets of intranet IP pool addresses will be added to blackhole static routes.

Before you upgrade SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA from version 6.4.1.r4 or earlier to 6.4.1.r5 or later, create one or more intranet IP pool addresses in SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA that contains one or more subnets to cover all custom IP addresses created by the user.

For example, you are using SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA version 6.4.1.r4, and it contains the following custom IP addresses:

• 192.168.0.0/24
• 192.168.1.0/24
• 192.168.100.0/24

Before you upgrade SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA from 6.4.1.r4 to 6.4.1.r5 or later, create an intranet IP pool address in SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA that contains the following subnets:

• 192.168.0.0/23 (includes 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 )
• 192.168.100.0/23 (includes 192.168.100.0/24)

Alternately you create an intranet IP pool address that contains one subnet (192.168.0.0/16), which includes all three custom IP addresses.

You must NOT create an intranet IP pool address that contains subnet 192.168.100.0/24, which is equal to one of the custom IP addresses, because the subnet will be added to the blackhole static route, making the routes of other types invalid.
