Best Practices

Follow these best practices when using CDO to migrate an ASA configuration to an FTD template:

• Ensure you fetch the running configuration from an ASA device using show run command in a model device migration.

• Review the migration reports for skipped, unsupported, and partially supported configurations.

• After migration, verify the migrated rules and objects in the FTD template before deploying it to an FTD.

• Optimize your ASA policies before migrating them to an FTD template.

• We recommend that you deploy the migrated ASA configuration to an FTD device that does not have an existing configuration.
