Switch replacement HP pro curve to Brocade

I preparing to replace two HP pro curve switches with Brocade switches. I have sonicwall firewall. Is there any ways copy configuration of switch on firewall and transfer it over to new switches or it will automatically start routing to correct interfaces and mac after physical switch change?

what is the configuration on the HP switches?  if it's all vlan 1 with no layer 3, then yes.

brocades switches are very easy to configure.

both the new and old switches are layer 3 and there are two vlans one for data and one for voice
do you need assistance with the Brocade switch configuration?
yes.. Is there a support or information link? IS there a way to copy configuration or it needs to be setup manually as they are different vendor and use different OS

so I need to pull the report using  -
Port #
   switched
      untagged
        vlan # to tag traffic
      tagged
        trunk interface
   routed
      ip address/netmask

and apply the same settings in Brocate
yes.  the difference with the brocade is that you place the interface in the vlan (identifying it as tagged or untagged, you can have a mix) instead of putting the vlan on the interface.

i like the brocades, if you need help, holler.
I may need help with brocade. Thanks.. appreciate your help
