You may be able to take the new box to 10.2.4 - You'd have to check the F5 Hardware/Software compatibility matrix.

 

The good news though - Version 10 supports Bigpipe aswell as TMSH... So..

 

You can enter lines of config using the bash shell - For example

 

b virtual 'myreallygoodvirtualserver_vip destination 10.10.10.10:80 profile myprofile '

 

etc etc

 

That would be a lot quicker... All depends how complex your VLAN configuration/lockdowns were off the old boxes of course if they were tied to interfaces.
