Move configuration from CE 2.3 to XG-7100 2.4
-
All,
is it possible to transfer configuration from 2.3 community edition to XG-7100 1U (2.4.x)?
Is it sufficient to rename interfaces in the XML file?
We're using ipsec, openvpn and vlan.

Yup, if you manually edit the xml file and replace the interface names that should suffice. Check our Quick Start guide for interface names https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/solutions/xg-7100/quick-start-guide.html

Just did this… was not as easy as 1,2.3. Simplest (well simple ish way) is to do the following:
Plug in the new one, wipe it so its factory defaults
Export its config
Export your config from the old one
Use Notepad++ or alternative to get them side by side and start comparing/copying data from the old config to new.
INTERFACES! - move the individual interfaces, not the whole thing as this will not work correctly
In the new config, make sure you have at least the Interfaces, Switch, LAGG and VLAN sections in placeIts not easy like I said, def not import your config and away you go.

Bingo! That what I did yesterday. I added the XML elements that did not exist on white box hardware, replaced the <interfaces>element, and added the <switches>element as it did not exist in my CE config.
It was kind of a time-consuming pain, but I got it to work.</switches></interfaces>
