Hello,
does using the expedition tool require having a palo alto device or can i just export the config as a file and install it on the device later ?

Hi @hattia
The base config should be the one you get from you PA device.
If you don't have access to it, you can create a dummy empty configuration using the iron-skilled option.
Steps:
- Login to Expedition
- Go to Project and select your project
- Go to Import and select Palo Alto
- Go to Iron-Skilled fullfil the required information and click on Generate and Import
The result will be an empty configuration you can use to play and drag and drop your migrated objects.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
David

Hi,
you don't need a device for using expedition. As you mentioned, you can import a config that you previously exported.
Please note that having a device also integrated in Expedition brings a lot of QoL improvedments. For instance, you can push changes directly to that device etc.
I hope that helps.
Regards!

Here is a youtube series that covers an ASA case: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD6FJ8WNiIqVez8EBeoyRsnQcKTA5FuZ-
If you follow these steps, in the very last section, in the "Export" section you can download the XML file that you can import to your PA Firewall.
I hope this helps.

hello @dpuigdomenec,
thank you for your response, but i'm struggling with the migration of a multi-context ASA since the method you mentioned seems to only create a single Vsys. is there a way to have multiple Vsys? and what configuration should be put into the shared part of PA config, is it the system context of ASA?
Thank You

Hey @hattia
Do you have access to your panOS device and can export an empty multi vsys config from there? You could use this as your base configuration.
In the meantime, I will check internally how to achieve it alternatively.
