Dear Team,
We have Big IP 4000 Device which having running firmware version BIGIP-12.1.2.0.0.249 In destination device 2000 firmware version is running BIGIP 11.X
So please suggest us if we need to do same firmware with same configuration from BIGip 4000 device to BIGIP 2000 device what is the easiest process to do this .
And for firmware we need direct format procedure becuase in BIGIP 2000 firmware is old so direct we can do with 12.1.2.0.0 .
Thanks in advance
Regards, Harmesh Yadav

same firmware is best, so upgrade the 2000s unit to 12. as you will overwrite the configuration later on it shouldn't be that difficult. you might want to do factory reset first so there is no configuration that can bother the upgrade.
see for factory reset: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13127
a restore of the 4000s UCS archive is the first thing to try afterwards, with the no-platform and no-license flags.
for those flags see: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14906

Hi,
First of you must be in the same version so Upgrade your 2000 to the same version (BIGIP-12.1.2.0.0.249).
Then when you import configuration don't fotget to use the following command:
tmsh load sys ucs [ucs file name] no-platform-checkhttps://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14906
I thing it's because of configuration don't match (hardware that you have your error): mcpd...

Hi harmesh,
you need to transport with your configuration, the master key. Without it you wont take successfull on your migration.
