Guidelines and Limitations for Migration
Guidelines
-
For devices in multi-instance mode:
During migration, ensure that you map the interfaces according to the table below:
Source Device
Target Device
Physical interface
Physical interface
EtherChannel interface
EtherChannel interface
Supervisor-provisioned subinterface
Supervisor-provisioned subinterface
Tagged interface
Tagged interface
Untagged interface
Untagged interface
Shared interface
Shared and dedicated interface
Dedicated interface
Dedicated interface
You cannot map a supervisor-provisioned subinterface to a subinterface created by an instance.
-
For HA devices, you can migrate:
-
Source HA device to target HA device.
-
Source HA device to target standalone device.
-
-
For devices in remote branch deployment:
-
Map the source manager access interface to the target manager access interface.
-
Ensure that the manager access interfaces of the source and target Firewall Management Centers are of the same IP address type (static or DHCP).
-
Both manager access interfaces must have IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
-
If the manager access interfaces have static IP addresses, ensure that they are in the same subnet.
-
-
For Snort:
-
For devices using diagnostic interfaces:
Only merged management interfaces are available on the target devices after migration.
Limitations
-
The migration wizard does not migrate:
-
Site-to-site VPN policies
-

After the migration, you can configure SNMP using the platform settings for the device.
-
-
You can perform only one migration at a time.
-
Remote access VPN trustpoint certificates are not enrolled after migration.
-
For HA devices:
-
Target device: You cannot migrate a standalone device to an HA device.
-
-
Clustering is not supported.
-
For devices in remote branch deployment:
-
The wizard does not migrate a single WAN manager access data interface to a dual WAN manager access data interface.
