Hello,
I'd like to replace an existing Flex 700 firewall with the newest Flex 700H.
I didn't see any way to convert the current configuration file with the online converter tool.
Can I upload directly the config file from the old system to the new one or is there a way to do so ?
Thanks !

    The config layout is not the same it can't be converted

    Seems odd you would need to move from a FLEX 700? is it the speed you need?

    The 1Gbps-only network ports and the CPU usage limitations I encounter encourage me to replace my existing Flex 700. I was wondering if the migration was made easier by staying with the same brand (like I did when upgrading from USG310 to my current model thanks to the online config converter).

    So… the only way is to restart the configuration from scratch ? :-(

    @Delta69 we're deploying a configuration converter for USGFLEX migrating to USGFLEX H series.
    The expected schedule would be at the half of this year.

    Make certain to check the 700H release notes for 700 features not yet available in the 700H. Otherwise you could be severely disappointed.
