Hi BlueP,

You should use FortiConverter for that. Here are some links that you should check.

Hello @BlueP  ,

If you have a FortiConverter License. You can convert easily your configuration from 400E to 200F. 

But if you don't have a license. You can also convert manually. As you know, the Fortigate configuration file is not encrypted. You can get the configuration file from your old FortiGate after that you can apply this configuration to the new Fortigate via CLI.

You just should be careful about the interface. If your old interface configuration is not compatible with the new unit. You need to change the configuration applied before. Also, it should be both of the devices running the same version of FortiOS.
