Let's get two fields in the SonicWall Migration Tool documented

Larry

In the SonicWall Migration Tool, on the Export the Settings page, under the Advanced section there are two fields:

• Drop default access rules from source device
• Drop default NAT policy from source device

Neither one of these fields is documented, and I have no idea what their selection or exclusion means to the resulting EXP file.

Could someone please issue a KB article about this or update the existing Migration Tool document to include pertinent definitions and explanations?

Thanks!

Hi Larry,

Let me know if this KB article helps:

@EnaBev - that doc is missing those two fields...

Hi Larry,

We've added the below tip to the KB article:

 TIP: Under Advanced section: Drop default access rules from source device and Drop default Nat policy from source device can be selected in order to only migrate custom access rule and Nat policy from source exp file.

Let me know if that helps!

Hi @EnaBev,

it would be better to also add a popup on the actual migration tool web page when hovering over the specific features
