best practice moving XG-7100 config to SG-5100
-
Is there a clean way to migrate the XG-7100 config over to SG-5100 via GUI and just reassign interfaces?
I just tried and it created a giant mess with VLAN and LAGG stuff on the SG-5100, crash report and so on.
Feels like I have to manually edit the config.xml first...-Rico

I would probably do it manually but I have done that ..... a lot!
If you don't need any laggs or vlans you can remove the <laggs>, <vlans> and <switches> sections entirely and then just change the interfaces at the top from lagg0.XXX to igb0-1 or ix0-3.
Things that may bite you include PPPoE or bridges where the interfaces are shown.
If you have AltQ shaping currently that cannot run on ix interfaces.

Thanks Steve!
How about the<widgets>section?<iffilter>switch0.port1,switch0.port2,switch0.port3,switch0.port4,switch0.port5,switch0.port6,switch0.port7,switch0.port8,switch0.port9,switch0.port10</iffilter>-Rico

Hmm, good question.
What widget do you have displays that generates that?
It can probably be removed since it's clearly not relevant on the SG-5100.

- System Information
- S.M.A.R.T. Status
- Gateways
- Firewall Logs
- Interface Statistics
- Traffic Graphs
- Interfaces
- OpenVPN
I think it's the Interfaces widget?

Ah! yes it's because you are filtering which interfaces are displayed there and I had not.
Ok so if you remove that section completely it will just show all the interfaces in the widget which you probably want anyway on the SG-5100. You can just configure the widget again if not.Steve

Hey Steve,
I just tried your recommendations and it works like a charm, many thanks.
Would you recommend to use ZFS with the SG-5100 8GB eMMC?-Rico
-
At this time we do not recommend using ZFS on eMMC. Though I have run at and had no issues there.
