Transfer Configuration Objects from one Firewall to another

BeEf

Hi,

I am setting up some XG firewalls that are integrated in central. What is the best way to transfer parts of the configurations from one firewall to the other?
I am thinking of some templates regarding host and network definitions, policy definitions, vpn configurations ...

1) Import / Export (complicated / don't know what I really get)

hosts
templates

I tried import export. Besides the fact that is using tar format I am not really sure what happens if I import / export different firewall models especially regarding the predefined objects. I also do not want to crush mistakenly things that I already setup e.g. changing networks and ip adresses.

2) Direct import via CSV,XML list - is this possible?

3) API 

I did not get deep into this but it seems to be very time consuming without the help of a good supporting program. Is there any besides low level web programming ??

4) Creating and installing object templates via central ??

5) Is it possible to backup / restore configurations from different firewall models? This is not really a good solution as no two firewalls are never the same and you will spend time to tidy up afterwords.

Every Idea that is realizable without to much effort and  time welcome.


Regards,
BeEf

    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
