I replaced my USG1100 with a new USG FLEX700. Is there a way to transfer the MAC filter list that I populated in the SSID management?

    Hi @Matt10669

    (1) You can provide the configuration file of the USG1100 to us via private message for transformation.
    (2) Alternatively, you can manually add the MAC filter list using the Web-GUI or on the USG Flex 700.
    (3) You can also add the MAC filter list to the configuration file of the USG Flex 700 and apply it.

    Thanks.

    Hi @Matt10669

    Let me explain it more clearly to you.

    Step 1: Copy the MAC addresses from the USG1100's configuration file.
    Step 2: Paste these MAC addresses into the USG Flex 700's configuration file and save it as a new edited configuration file.
    Step 3: Apply the new edited configuration file to the USG Flex 700.

    Hi @Matt10669

    You can open and edit the .conf file with any text editor application. But if you still have problems with this method, please provide the USG1100's configuration file to us and we can transfer the configuration file for you. Thanks.
