SonicOS 7 Getting Started Guide for NSsp 10700, 11700, 13700 and NSa Series

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
Palo Alto PA-200, PA-500, PA-2000, PA-3000, PA-4000, PA-5000 Series
Fortinet FortiGate Firewall Platform
Watchguard FireBox, XTM Series
Sophos SG, XG Series

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