Is a Restore of XG 17.5.14 (SG210r1) into XG 17.5.14 (Software) possible?

juergenb52

Hi,

is a restore from a XG 17.5.14 running on a old SG 210r1 into a Software XG possible?

I have a software installation on a Dell PC (i5, 32GB, 250GB SSD, 5 NIC´s)?

I asked sophos and they don´t know.

thanks

Jürgen

    While not the answer you are asking for, there's another way (not perfect and involves some work) in case the backup thing doesn't work. It involves getting a full export from the SG device and loading the individual parts of the config by hand, either with import in the GUI or by CLI. 

    Normally, this involves editing the XML file to match the new interfaces (example: Change PortA1 to Port1) but with notepad++ and search/replace, its very easy.

     

    Downsides?

    You will probably loose the FW cert and thus, all the ssl users will need to download the config again.

    Takes some time and practice, but after that, its easy.

     

    Besides that? Nothing and its very useful to learn how to use API.
