PIX/ASA to Junos converter

[DavidH]

Attached is a PIX/ASA to SRX/Junos converter.

It's written in Perl and has a few instructions
included. I hope someone finds it useful.

Minor version update - bug fixed in a core routine when newer versions of NetAddr::IP were used.

Seems to work with older versions still, though.

David -

WoW! - What an awesome tool. I was doing some testing it ran an old pix 6.x config file and within seconds it converted all the objects and rules. I'm so physced to work more with this tool.

I do need some help though. I ran a different PIX (version 8.03) config file and it errors out quickly with the below error. Any ideas?

admin@ubuntu:~/hms$ perl px2sx.pl hmspix

Starting conversion to Junos...

Zones & Routes...
Can't call method "network" on an undefined value at px2sx.pl line 83.

Line 83 on the PIX config is simply a named object. Are there version limitations with the tool?

This sounds awesome but I am having a hell of a time getting it to work on WIndows :/

I have no knowledge of using Perl, but I grabbed a copy of ActivePerl community edition 5.14 and tried it out, it errored asking for NetAddr IP module. This is where I get lost Is there any simple instructions on doing this?

As with most of my experiences with code and unix installs you fix one tihng only to find another dependancy. I somehow managed to get IP.pm but now more issues:

Yes - currently it doesn't handle version 8 NATs. But I've sorted out most of the other bugs, so it's probably time to upload a newer version.

It's not hard - run up the Perl Package Manager (comes with ActivePerl) and mark the NetAddr-IP package for install.

You might have to change the view to 'All Packages' first, and it does take a while to start up so patience is needed.

5.14 should be OK - it uses the 'given - when' syntax so anything from 5.10 onwards should be OK.

Newer version. Some support for v8 config files now.

Various bugs fixed & features added.

hello my name is David Shariel mexico city, I need help converting a file from a Cisco Asa a Juniper SRX240.
They could help

Thanks David that new version worked perfectly!

I figured out my issue earlier with perl also - I was trying to get it to install on a machine that did not have direct Internet access. You'd never figure how hard it is to install modules for perl without Internet access In the end I just grabbed a laptop and used my celluar mobile access and installed it that way - easy as can be
