Convert xg-7100 to 8200
-
I have an 8200 in the mail I bought off the secondary market. Looking at the differences I think it should be easy to move my config.
LAN is on the 7100 switch, not really used, move that to a single port.
WAN is on ix1, this should match the 8200.
The VLANs that are in use are on ix0, this should match the 8200.My thought on 1st boot is to adjust LAN to be on a single port. After the boot completes remove all switch references.
Am I missing something?

@AndyRH if you like Netgate TAC will convert the configuration for you for free.
But yeah if LAN is just all together then I’d expect you to be able to restore.
Do click Apply before Save when restoring otherwise you will probably end up at the console assignment prompt.

Yup should be easy enough moving from switch to no-switch as long as you don't have more interfaces defined on the 7100. And it sounds like you don't.
But also, yes, you can get TAC to convert it for you.

A TAC case sounds safer, I opened one.
The only other thing is an OpenVPN tunnel. Will that survive the move? I think it will because the keys are in the backup.
Thank you,

Yes that will be carried across.
