Scenario

If you're replacing an old ATP200 with a new ATP200 of the same model, or simply want to apply one ATP200's configuration to another ATP200, you can migrate the settings by uploading the old device's configuration file instead of reconfiguring everything manually.

This FAQ explains how to upload and apply a configuration file on ZLD-based firewalls (ATP series, USG FLEX series).

Steps

  • Go to MAINTENANCE > File Manager > Configuration File.
  • Click Browse and select the configuration file you want to upload. Note: the file must have a .conf extension.
