Hello 🙂
I am doing a migration from a Sonicwall device to a Palo device and I am not finding any migration tools that can help me. Does anyone know of a tool that will migrate from Sonicwall to PAN?
I am at a loss of how to go about this without building it all up from scratch.

Probably not what you were hoping to hear, and I'll redibly admit it doesn't help answer your question, but I would personally take the time to rebuild the configuration during a migration. I say this for two reasons; the first being that you don't have to go back and 'Palotize' the configuration at a later date, and the second being you can take the chance to verify there are no un-needed configuration statements that get moved over.
As far as actually moving over a sonicwall configuration as you've already noted the migration tool does not include a sonicwall option. Sonicwall has been a very popular request as far as adding it to the migration tool goes, it simply hasn't been done yet. If you are comfortable working with XML I would suggest modifying the actual configuration file directly, it makes migrations like this a little faster in my experience.

hi @Roshawn
Have you tried "The Palo Alto Networks Migration Tool' ?

Hello@reaper 🙂
I have tried the migration tool but Sonicwall isn't a choice. That being the case, I still tried to import the config under every choice and still got nowhere 😕
