Hello,

currently i am in the situation that you were in 2009: i have to migrate from nortel 2424-ssl to cisco ACE. untill now i have found no tool for this.

Anyone has any update | info.

Any hint will be highly appreciated

I am not aware of any tool so far. But there are lot of documentation which can help you to configure ACE and troubleshoot as well.

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_(ACE)_Configuration_Examples

For Migration of Nortel 2424 SSL ( SSL services ) you can use the following link :

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_(ACE)_Configuration_Examples_--_SSL_Configuration_Examples

For troubleshooting you can use the following :

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot Ajay!

honestly i was hoping to find a cisco config convertor but no luck in this. My problem is that i have never worked with Nortel and ACE [at least at this level] so i will have to learn them both now.

I will use the links you have provided and hopefully i will find the light at the of the tunnel

Thank you again.

Hi Mihal,

I know it is painful. But you can use the following link and some hint to grasp it faster.

All the best.
