Importing Configuration Settings - SonicWALL NSA 2600 Upgrade Manual

• On a firewall running 6.2.4.2 or higher, the MTU is changed on the interface that terminates a VPN
tunnel, causing the numbered tunnel interface MTU to change.
Administrators are advised to check the MTU setting on both VPN peering endpoints to ensure that the values
match so that OSPF can establish neighbor adjacency.
See Knowledge Base article SW10735 for more information about OSPF and tunnel interfaces, available at:

Importing Configuration Settings
You can import configuration settings from one appliance to another, which can save a lot of time when
replacing an older appliance with a newer model. This feature is also useful when you need multiple appliances
with similar configuration settings.
To export the configuration settings from an appliance, navigate to the System > Settings page in SonicOS and
click the Export Settings button. You can then import the settings file to another appliance by clicking the
Import Settings button on that page.
