Migrating 10.2.4 ASM config from 3600 to 4200

plan on changing hardware from a 3600 to a 4200 and would like to reconfigure as little as possible. would loading an archive be an option of will the fail because of the platform difference?

 

what would be an alternative? specially having to redo the ASM config feels a challenge.

 

4200
archive
ASM Advanced WAF
design
security

    BTW I didn't get to your first point. I don't believe you can use an archive file on different hardware types. Seems this sol suggests there's a workaround though: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/100/sol13136.html

    When I migrated an ASM config to a new device I simply exported the security policy and then imported onto the new box. It picked up a couple of things that it didn't like (we went from 9.4.x to 11.2.x) but it still imported and the Overview section identified the changes I needed to make. Hope that helps, N
