About Migration

The SonicWall Migration Tool was developed to help users easily migrate from an old firewall to the SonicWall Gen 7 firewalls. It helps ease conversion issues related to:

• Transitioning to a target firewall with fewer interfaces
• SFP (small form pluggable) module configurations
• Internal wireless interfaces
• WWAN configuration on USB ports
• Gen 6 Global BWM (bandwidth management)
• Internal switch limitations (for example, portshield not being allowed on certain ports in the new firewall)

The Migration Tool allows you to convert the settings from existing SonicWall Gen 6 and Gen 6.5 firewall. You can also use it to convert other brands to SonicWall firewalls. The Migration Tools supports these platforms:

Platform	Versions
Cisco PIX/ASA	PIX 4.x, PIX 5.x, PIX 6.x, PIX 7.x, PIX 8.x
Check Point	Smart Center, Provider-1 (excluding VPN-1 Edge, Safe@Office, SMP) with OS NG FP1 (4.0)
Juniper	NetScreen Series, SRX Series, SSG Series

The Migration Tool currently does not support conversion of the Gen 5 configuration files.
