Configuration file from T50 to T80

guser

Hello,
We had a T50, and its configuration file saved. That firewall crashed, and we got a new T80 (as T50 and T55 were already discontinued). The vendor told us that it was possible to import the configuration file into the new T80 model.
Now, I have tried several times, but the firewall says that the file is not valid.
I have tried using System Manager, but it seems that I should have the old T50 working to use that tool.

How can I import the T50 configuration file into the new T80 device?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I tried, but I didn't find a way to load the configuration file into the wsm to modify it.

What file did you save?
You need to have saved the configuration file, which is a .xml file.

If you did a backup, this is not the file that you need or can use for this.

Web UI -> System -> Configuration file -> Download the Configuration File
or
WSM Policy Manager will automatically save a config file prior to uploading it to the firewall.
