Upgrading from an older ATP200 to a new USG 500H and hoping to import the DHCP reservations from the ATP200 instead of having to type them all manually. I found an older post with a link to a tool that doesn't apply to the new device/firmware.

Is there any way to import DHCP reservations on the 500H?

    Hi @MeatPopsicle

    You can:

    1. Use the convertor tool to get the DHCP reservations configuration. image.png
    2. Download the startup-config from your firewall with the newer firmware version.
    3. Copy the DHCP reservations configuration from the converted config and paste to the startup-config from step 2.
    4. Upload it and apply.

    Hope it helps.

    This worked. There's no direct ATP200-USG500H conversion path but I was able to export the ATP200 config, export the USG500H config, compare the two, and copy/paste quite a few config lines and save myself a lot of time.

    Thank you for the tip!
