I am not able to have a converted configuration....
Steps to reproduce:

  • download a startup-configuration from a 3.30 P3 USG20
  • rename as DATE_USG20_330_site_startup-config.conf
  • opened Configuration Converter in In Private Microsoft Edge 105
  • selected "Zywall USG20 3.30" and "USG20-VPN 4.20"
  • load the configuration
  • clicked "copy all" ports (only LAN1 used)
  • clicked "convert"
  • page reload, only with the image header "Automated Configuration Migration Tool". Nothing more happens.
One more question: the downloaded configuration is uploadable on 5.31 device? Or must be re-converted?

    Chrome 105.0.5195.127 incognito : the same.
    Vivaldi 5.4.2753.51: the same.
    Firefox 32 bit 91.13.0 ESR: the same.
    Firefox 32 bit 102.3.0 ESR: the same.
    Firefox 64 bit 105.1.0: the same.

    Seems that ZyWALL Series Converter 2.0.8 is quite a non exiting converter.

    I use Sophos antivirus, may this be the issue?
    Edit: no.
    Edge, in private mode, no AV (Windows Defender), not even the header image loaded.

    Typo and my error here...
    Firmware release of the source device is 3.30(BDQ.9)ITS-WK48-r74988 / 1.17 / 2016-11-30 18:17:33. AFAIK the last LAB firmware available from Zyxel

    Up. Sorry to bug again.
    In a couple of weeks I'm gonna have to upgrade three sites from USG20 to USG50 Flex. Oh, sorry, they call it USG20-VPN on boxes.
    Lacking of working configuration converter is a bummer, because for the upgrade to come trough I must re-do configuration from scratch on 5.31 version firmware. Hope to see soon updates.

    I have the same issue from USG20 to USG20-VPN.

    Also the converter do not specify if the (allegedely) converted configuration will be ok with ZLX 5.x firmwares.

    @2ISR consider this experience before use the converted configuration. I'm having second, third and fourth guesses before do that again.

    Hello, I need to convert a usg20 firewall configuration into a new usg20-vpn; I can't convert the file because the converter doesn't download the converted file.
    Anyone can help me?
    Thank you

    I had to manually the configuration from USG20 to USG 50 flex, due to lack of 3.0 to 4.0 converter working. At least, this time I had none of the issues about the trial time wasted after using the converted configuration.
