<![CDATA[SG-2440 backup and restore to SG-5100]]>I'm planning to purchase a SG-5100 to replace a SG-2440. Can I backup the configuration of the 2440 and restore it directly to the 5100?

I was going to replace with the 5100 because it has two WAN ports, but my boss decided to go the cheaper route.

I am trying to find some used pfsense hardware for a few video production rigs, and the 2220's and the 2240's are great boxes for that. Don't need to pay full price, so used is very doable.

Yes, it should be painless. You may need to re-assign interfaces but that's easily done within pfSense.

You can compare the interfaces with our documentation. SG-2440 vs SG-5100.
Let us know if you encounter any issues!
