Smartmove for Cisco

[weicheong]

Dear community,

this is the first time i am posting in the community area so pardon me if there is lack of information

I have a customer whom is currently using a pair of Cisco (i do not have the exact model)

They are running on ASDM version 7.18 and ASA version 9.12 respectively

i am looking up at the SK for Smartmove

sk115416 - How to migrate a competitor's database to Check Point with SmartMove

i understand that ASDM and ASA functions differently whereby ASA/Firepower is more for policy based routing and ASDM is meant for static based routing (or at least this is what my customer taught me)

And both console have their respective output. am i suppose to run smartmove twice to get the converted output twice?

When attempting to convert the output for the config file in ASA,  I'm facing the error message of "Unspecific ASA version"

Is there anything that i am missing or having the wrong direction?

Thanks!

SmartMove will convert the security policy on the other device to Check Point format, but not the underlying networking configuration. So if you're looking for it to convert the routing config that won't happen.

Hi Emmap,

Thanks for the reply. yes i understand that i would not be able to convert the routing policy

however i cant seem to perform the step 8 and 9 of the SK. perphas i have a weaker understanding or something but i cant seem to copy and unpack as the instructions were not clear.

is there any detailed guide that you could enlighten me on?

thanks!

ASA vs. Firepower is more than routing difference. Firepower is a complete new solution with a bit ASA code within, that does the networking stuff and some more (vpn, nat). 

You can do dynamic / policy based routing with both (ASA as of a specific code version).

First off - can you please verify that the following statement is somewhere at the top of your ASA config?

: Saved

: 
: Serial Number: <Serial Number>
: Hardware:   <Some Info on Hardware>
:
ASA Version 9.8(4) 
!
hostname cisco
<rest of config>

The tool is elaborating the version and if it is supported with the ASA Version statement.
