About the Import Configuration Wizard

Overview

The Import Configuration wizard makes it easier to migrate from a locally-managed or cloud-managed Firebox to another cloud-managed Firebox. If you want a cloud-managed Firebox to use the same settings as an existing Firebox configuration, the Import Configuration wizard saves you time and reduces the risk of errors.
