WatchGuard M200 to M270

RolandoV

Currently using a M200. Can the configuration file (.xml) be uploaded to the M270 and consider all the configurations "migrated"? The documentation is not clear about the xml file.
I understand that the backup (.fxi) cannot be moved to another device.

Thanks!

Yes, by using WSM Policy Manager.

Hi Bruce!
I read that article and if I'm reading this right the "current/old" firewall will save the configuration to a remote destination, that happens to be the new firewall.

Is there a way to do this offline? Can I just open/import the xml on the new device?

No.
You need to use WSM Policy Manager.
Open the config (.xml file) from the old firewall, make the needed changes - model info & license keys, then save that config someplace.
Then import the modified config into the new firewall using WSM Policy Manager.
