<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I was wonder if it was possible to copy the configuration of an older model Fortigate to a new model Fortigate assumiing the the FortiOS version is exactly the same? I have a FortiWifi 60B which has been superceded with the FortiWifi 60C. <br />
<br />
This question however is broader and I wondered that if I was happy with a particular configuration, I could &nbsp;copy it to my customer's UTM device. It would save a lot of time not to mention standardise the settings across my customer base.

Copy Configuration between different Fortigate Models

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
