SG-1000 to SG-1100
-
Trying to migrate from an SG-1000 to an 1100 as the unit has went dead on me. I had a backup config file, however when I do a restore it throws a interface mismatch error. Fine, I tell it that WAN is 4091 and LAN is 4092 and save and apply. Upon reboot though it's asking to setup VLAN's and then assign interfaces however only one interface is presented (the contoller).
Was hoping this was going to be a more streamlined process being that Netgate stop production on the SG-1000 and forced us to use the more expensive 1100.

If you open a ticket with us we can convert that config for you. https://go.netgate.com/

from an SG-1000 to an 1100
The SG-1100 has probably other interface device names, and settings related to something I would call a build in 'switch'.
Take note : I never laid hands on a SG-1100, neither the SG-1000. I'm just reading user's experiences and I do have the manual ;)What's worth trying (== what I would do)
:
Set up your SG-1100 in a minimal way : that is : assign interfaces and switch related things. Stop there.Now, get the config backup from the SG-1000, use a descent editor like Notepad++ and take out the entire <interface> section :
<interfaces> <wan> <......> ..... </wan> <lan> <....> ...... </lan> <opt1> <if>.....> ..... </opt1> </interfaces>
and import it.
I'm convinced this will take care of all your settings, except the interface part.
If, by any change, the SG-1000 has a <switch> ....... </switch> section, take that out also before importing the into the SG-1100.To be sure, when done, GUI-reboot the device.
@stephenw10 : I'm more or less wrong - right ?
@rustydusty1717 there is no risk trying, as you can goto default any time.

You need to include the <vlans> section in the config to be imported otherwise the interface defined will not exist. You need to retain the <switch> config from the SG-1100 so those VLANs are connected to the correct ports.

I just went through the same upgrade (my SG-1000 was a rock for the ~7 years I had it in use) and found this thread very helpful. After a few attempts, I was able to get a working xml that imported everything correctly into the SG-1100.
I had a bunch of vlans with opt interfaces that needed to be re-mapped into the internal switch. I started by booting the SG-1100 and exporting the default config to look at side-by-side with my SG-1000 config.
- I decided to keep my interface mappings of <opt#> to vlan consistent, so I re-mapped the builtin OPT port on the SG-1100 (<if>mvneta0.4092</if>) to <opt0> in my xml file. Since the SG-1000 doesn't have this port, my initial conversion process left it unused
- In the <interfaces> and <vlan> sections, I merged the SG-1100 defaults with my custom interfaces/vlans
- for the custom interfaces, I changed all the <if> tags from cpsw* to mvneta* but kept the subinterface numbers the same
- for the vlans, I updated the interface names to match what the resulting data interface data
- I also had to copy the <switches> section out of the default SG-1100 export and populate the <vlangroups> and <swports> subsections with the proper port tags / pvids for my vlans
Just sharing my notes in case anyone else is searching for help with the same upgrade.
