As part of an office move we are upgrading from a FortiGate 30E to a FortiWiFi-60F security appliance. Is it possible to save the 30E settings (users, network, VPN, etc.) and restore them to the 60F? (Obviously settings that don't exist on the 30E such as WiFi would still need to be set up manually.) Or is it necessary to copy the settings by hand?
Sure! There are several ways to tackle this, but probably the easiest is to take an unencrypted backup of both configs from the GUI and compare them, copying the sections you want from the 30E config into the 60F config. Then you can restore the "edited" config to the 60F and you should have the things you wanted. Just be conscience of any differences that may exist between versions and platforms (interface names for example).
The safer thing to do might be to take those sections from the 30E that you want to copy over and just paste them into the 60F CLI. That way you can see any errors right there and fix them as you go. Either way you'll probably want to start by comparing backup configs.
