PIX version change of 4.4 to 6.x question!

ramiro · ‎10-04-2003

What type of tool can I use to convert the current configuration of a PIX version 4.4, which goes to be updated to version 6.x, to an equivalent configuration in the new version?

There isn't one, as far as I know. I would recommend simply thinking of it as deploying a completely new product, instead of an upgrade. Write out a completely new configuration for the device, and upload it after the upgrade.

What pix firewall model do you have?

Hi Matt. Thanks in advance for your response.

Ok, I understand, but I do not think that it is necessary to deployment a new product since we have the possibility of obtaining the new version of PIXOS for his update. Besides, our PIX is a 525 series and it allows this procedure, only that I thought that suddenly, there was some type of tool wherewith speed up the reconfiguration process.

In any case, your recommendation with regard to write out a completely new configuration for the device, and upload it after the upgrade, it is the procedure to continue.

Thanks again.
