[FW1] Moving a firewall to another subnet

["Haji, Mohmed" <HajiM@logica.com>]

Hello all,

I have configured a firewall and loaded a security policy onto it while
housing it in my local subnet.

I now wish to move the firewall to another subnet where it will permanently
reside.

Before unplugging the firewall, I will delete the firewall as a network
object from the remote admin GUI. After that, is it as easy as doing the
following things:
*	deleting the entry made for the firewall hostname to IP address
mapping on the firewall
*	changing the primary interface IP address on the firewall so that it
would be valid on the new subnet and disabling the other interfaces
*	unplugging the firewall and plugging it into the new subnet
*	re-doing the fwputkey command on the management station
*	recreating the network object in the remote admin GUI?

Are there any other issues involved? 

The firewall is a new firewall and I have already unloaded the security
policy. I will create a new one for it when it is in the other subnet.

FYI - I have a Management station running on a Solaris box. The firewalls
are Nokia IP650's running Checkpoint version 4.0 

Lastly, the hostname for the firewall has not been set in DNS. So that
doesn't need to be changed.

Thanks in advance for any help. 
Kindest regards,
