Importing settings from TZ215 to TZ370

sdeyoung

Hi all,

From what I understand it is not possible to import settings from a TZ215 to a TZ370. However, I did try. It gives me an error but after the Firewall reboots it looks like it did copy over all of the rules, Zones and VPN's from the old Firewall. I guess I'm just wondering if I will encounter any issues leaving it like this or if it would be advisable to recreated them all from scratch. Has anyone ever attempted this successfully?

Hi @sdeyoung , Sorry but i don't have a good update for you.....The direct import of the settings from TZ 215 to the TZ 370 is not supported. Also, the migration tool doesn't work for a GEN5 ( TZ 215 is a GEN5 product ) to a GEN7 ( the TZ370 )

If you decide to proceed with the current import, there might be problems later and you might be informed at that point to manually configure the firewall. I would suggest to manually config the TZ 370.

Here is some information about the settings import and export on the Sonicwall products. I hope this helps.

Yeah that's what I kind of figured. Not the answer I was looking for though :(

I guess it's a good time to clean up some of the mess from previous installs lol.
