Migrate the Secure Firewall Threat Defense

Before you begin

Review the prerequisites and limitations for the migration.

Procedure

1

Choose Devices > Device Management.

2

Click Migrate on the top-right of the page.

3

Click Start on the welcome screen.

4

From the Source Device drop-down list, choose a device.

If the device is part of an HA pair, only the container name of the HA pair appears.

5

Click Next.

6

From the Target Device drop-down list, choose a device.

If the device is part of an HA pair, only the container name of the HA pair appears.

7

Click Next.

In the Configure Interfaces step, map the physical interfaces of the source device with those of the target device.

Mapping of all interfaces is not mandatory. You must map all named interfaces and interfaces that are part of other interfaces. You cannot map interfaces that are part of an HA failover configuration. These interfaces are disabled in the wizard. The wizard creates the logical interfaces according to the interface mapping provided by the user.

  • Click Map Default to configure default interface mappings.

    For example, Ethernet1/1 in the source device will be mapped to Ethernet1/1 in the target device.

  • Click Clear All to clear all the mappings.

Click View Mappings to verify the interface mappings.

11

Click Submit to start the migration.
