Configuration Settings Import Support by Version
SonicOS 6.5.1.3 is the minimum version generally supported for settings import to a firewall running SonicOS 7.
Existing settings for Global Bandwidth Management, Virtual Assist and Content Filter Client Enforcement cannot be imported into SonicOS 7. Global Bandwidth Management is replaced by Advanced Bandwidth Management, and the other features are deprecated in SonicOS 7.

Configuration settings import to a firewall running SonicOS 7 from any SonicOS 6.x version prior to SonicOS 6.5.1.3 is supported as a two-step process:
1. Upgrade the firewall from SonicOS 6.x to SonicOS 6.5.1.3 or higher.
2. Export settings from the upgraded firewall and then import them to the firewall running SonicOS 7.
