Get Started with Routing Engine Migration

Understand the basics of legacy and advanced routing engine.
The Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) supports either the legacy routing engine or the advanced routing engine for routing operations; by default, the NGFW comes with the legacy routing engine. The PAN-OS® 10.2 release introduced an advanced routing engine that uses an industry-standard configuration methodology to reduce your learning curve.
The advanced routing engine contains new filtering concepts and relies heavily on routing profiles. As a result, the advanced routing engine configuration is significantly different that the legacy routing engine.
To simplify the advanced routing configuration, we help you migrate from the legacy routing engine to the advanced routing engine with a simple process:
  • Invoke the migration script from your existing firewall directly; or
  • Invoke the migration script from the Panorama™ management server (if manages the firewall).
Learn about the differences between these two routing engine configurations before you start the migration process.
