Exporting ASM policies into existing LTM box

Hi all,     I have an existing ASM 3600 and I wish to export the application security classes and the security policies and then import and merge them into an existing LTM 3900 box.      ...

I'd check with your F5 or partner account manager. Normally it is not possible to transfer an addon license between units.

 

 

If you do have a license for ASM, it might be simplest to follow the RMA replacement process:

This will save you from needing to manually create the HTTP class objects and import the ASM policies. Make sure to:

 

 

name the 3900 with the same hostname as the 3600 when the 3600 UCS was exported

 

back up the 3900 license and config to a UCS off the box
