In the past, when directly importing a preference file from a different platform to a newly acquired firewall, certain
configurations experienced some issues. SonicWall created the SonicWall Migration Tool to help users convert
settings so they can be easily imported into a target Gen7 firewall.

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
l
SFP (small form pluggable) module configurations
l
Internal wireless interfaces
l
WWAN configuration on USB ports
l
Gen 6 Global BWM (bandwidth management)
l
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:
