Transfer Configuration Objects from one Firewall to another

Most likely i would recommend the Central approach. You can create a group in Central and select "Import from Firewall". It will get all the supported objects into this Group. Then add the new firewall and will push this to the new firewall. 

Backup/Restore can work, if supported. But there are certain configurations stored in the backup, which could cause issues as duplicated settings (Hostname etc.). 

Import/export is possible, see: https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/f/recommended-reads/122450/creating-xml-objects-with-notepad-for-mass-import

There is a script for mass import for API: https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/f/recommended-reads/124208/lazyness-at-your-service-automated-load-of-object-through-api-from-csv

Thanks.

Will I be able to select which objects I can push to the new firewall? For example it does not make sense for local networks and Internet connections.

How about different interface naming? Can/Is there some kind of mapping? 
Will the be some wildcards e.g. for the IPs and networks of the interfaces?
Is there something I can browse through on the Firewall group

However I'd been surprised if this was working. From my point of view it broke:


The Exclamation Mark says: Authentication -> One Time Password. I am wondering whether anything except this was imported or if the whole process is cancelled. Can I see somewhere what is attached to the group?

Can you point me to the relevant documentation?

It will stop the entire import as something stops it in your marked area. Seems like there is some configuration in OTP; which is odd for Central to import. Could be a bug or some faulty edge case configuration. What do you have in terms of OTP config right now? 

Looks reasonable for me (and is also working):

Good morning,

this import function seems not to work at all and really sucks:



The second firewall is importable but this is actually the one I want to setup without entering all the hosts, networks ... 
Number 1 and 4 fail when trying to import the config.
Number 3 and 5 are not displayed for import for unknow reason.


Is it possible to create and configure a fresh new template and link it to a new group.

Regards,
BeEf
