Migration - NS5GT to SSG20

[link2ali]

Hi,

We need to migrate our NS5GT to SSG 20. What would be the most simplest way to migrate the existing configuration and port the same on our new device ?

Please help on the above.

Hi,

I would take the following action.

- Save a copy of the NS5GT config

- Save a copy of the default SSG20 config

- Map out which interfaces you want to use in the SSG20

- Open the 5GT config using Wordpad, do a Find and Replace for the interface changes (i.e. find trust, replace with bgroup0) for each interface

- Check the config for accuracy and save

- TFTP the config over to the SSG20, reset and test

- if needed, you can wipe the 20 by logging into the device using the serial number for username and password

I've taken this approach with high levels of success for NS-25 to SSG-140/320's.

 Hello John,

Thanks for your reply.

Will the steps outlined by you also migrate settings in terms of VPN,DMZ and Security Policies configs ?
