Import Part(s) of a converted configuration file?

jef

I used the "Configuration Converter" USG Flex 700 to 700H.
Could I manually edit the configuration file for only the items I want to import?
For example, I would like to export only the ipsec-vpn tunnels from the working 700 and import those tunnels to the 700H. It would be easier to edit the tunnels then make them from scratch.

Is it okay to "import" partial config data?
Is it okay to edit the config file before importing?

I now realize this should have been placed under "security appliance", but I don't see a way to move it or delete it and I do not want to double post the same question.

Hi @jef,

Don't worry about the category, we will help to move.

About your question:

• Is it okay to "import" partial config data?
  • No, the configuration file needs to have complete configuration. You can download the current 700H's configuration file and paste the converted part before uploading to it.
• Is it okay to edit the config file before importing?
  • Yes. Additionally, you can click the test button to check if the configuration file works.

Hope it helps.
