      Hello all,
      I'm due to upgrade my firewall from the pfsense virtual machine, to an hardware appliance, the SG-3100.

      Other than backup configuration from the VM and restore it in the appliance (on a isolated environment, just the SG-3100 attached to a PC I use for restore the config), do I need check other important things before turn off VM, attach the sg-3100 to my lan and wan and turn it on?

      TIA!

        If you only use 2 or 3 interfaces this should be fine. For more you need to deal with VLANs first because LAN 1-4 is switched on the SG-3100
