1048D vs 1048E configs

[keynk]

We're going to be replacing our soon to be EOL 1048D pair, will config info be compatible with 1048E? I'm wondering if that's going to be a reasonable way (I still have more to research) to start looking at migrating to the new hardware. I'm not a network engineer so go easy on me please!

Hi @keynk ,

You can use Forticonverter to convert config from 1048D to 1048E config.

you can use the same config if moving to a different FortiGate but exact same model like 1048D to 1048D.

You can check with your sales engineer or contact our sales team.
