You can try creating scf file and restoring it in new box.

You could probably well if both run on same versions

 

  1. Backup config/bigip.conf file from 1600 box.
  2. Create base configuration on the 5050 box.
  3. Copy config/bigip.conf from 1600 box to config folder in 5050 box (I would backup the 5050 box before copying)

  4. load verify the config: tmsh load sys config verify

     

  5. If found errors correct the error and repeat step 4.

     

  6. If no errors, load the config: tmsh load sys config
