Configuration restore to a different model

[imranrft]

Hi, We are moving from FG-200A to FG-300C. I have taken a backup of the config file and tried to restore it on FG-300C but if is failing saying " Configuration file error" . I have tried both from CLI and Web but failed. Any specific things to consider? Thanks.

Take a backup of the default 300c configuration. Edit the config file with some text editor (default windows notepad does not work so use notepad++ or notepad2). Copy the first lines that start with a #. Open the FGT200A config file in notepad++ and replace the top lines starting with # with the lines of the 300C config. Save the file and restore it to the 300C. NOTE: If the units don' t have the same interface names you have to search and replace the names in the config file with the new ones with your editor.
