Most of the config should go over, take it to a 5.x version first. There were some changes in the way the PIX uses the file etc.
Make sure you make a note of the conduits etc (if there are any). Most of the commands if not all are backward compatible - they just throw in a few new ones.

I could not guarantee that all config would go over. It certainly wouldn't be far out as most Pix commands have stayed backward compatible, but what I would say is that if you're putting a new Pix in, you couldn't get a better time to do the whole config again. Replace your conduit commands with access lists etc. You may never get round to it afterwards and it may haunt you. The money you pay for a 535, it wouldn't be a massive increase to get an engineer on site to do the migration for you if you don't fancy it yourself. If you came to our company for a 535 and maintenance you probably wouldn't have to argue for too long to get a 'very' cheap days engineering thrown in (even free at a push). If you're in UK and you don't get at least the first that let me know :-). Regards, Bikespace ""Shawn Xu"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > We have cisco PIX 520 with OS 4.2.
