SG 125 to SG 220

SGICT

Hi

I have a customer who wants to upgrade from SG125 to SG220. If I recall rightly, many years ago you could simply backup the existing UTM and restore on another one that's bigger. What you couldn't do is backup a bigger UTM and restore on a smaller due to less physical ports.

Is that still the case?

Thanks in advance, hopefully this will save me hours of work

    Booth directions are possible.

    If you go to a device with less ports, the interfaces are not assigned to hardware afterwards.

    (I do this way too)

    I have assigned some interfaces to one physical with VLAN's afterwards.

     

    You have to install a new license after installing a backup to a different device type.

    Thanks for your reply, I never knew/tried downgrading but that's great to know.

     

    So basically get both the live and new UTM up to date with firmware, take a backup of live, restore on the new and upload the new license after the restore and that's it?

    Exactly, that's how I would do it, too.

    I would check the physical interface(s) that have been assigned to your logical interface names, because a different hardware may have other odering scheme, which could lead to confusion and/or changed associations on the target hardware.
