Hi,
I want to move all interface from a 1gb port (1/2) to a 10gb port (1/8) what is the quickest way to do this. Is there a bulk move or clone interface option within the GUI?
Model PA-5220
Software Version 10.1.14-h10
Not using Panorama. Have just tested but unable to configure the new 10gb interface as it uses the same IP details as the 1gb.. which will not be moved until OOHs migration window..
Thanks

Hi @PaloNetworkMonkey ,
Thanks for info, You can't configure the same IP on other interface if you are using existing interface. So suggestion is to plan the configuration changes during the migration activity.

Hi @PaloNetworkMonkey ,
The quickest way to move the interface is to export the configuration, search and replace, and import the configuration/load/commit. The interface can be associated with multiple services and removing/re-configuring those services in the GUI can take a while.
Thanks,
Tom

@PaloNetworkMonkey I would do it exactly as @TomYoung described. Export your config via XML. Adjust the interface settings moving them away from 1/2 and applying them to 1/8. Just make sure you capture all configuration points. Then import the config. It should be an almost seamless transition and should be less than a 10 second (random time I can think of in a worse case situation) outage while things come up on the new interface.
You can have the new interface all cabled up ahead of time. This definitely should be done in a maintenance window though and you should be ready to troubleshoot if something doesn't go as planned.
