Migration from Cisco ACE to F5

Hi good morning to all.

 

do I wonder if there is any documentation step by step or best practices to perform the migration from cisco ace to f5? or aspects that must be taken into account.

 

Thanks in advance

    I found this article to be very helpful when I started looking into this Converting a cisco ace configuration file to f5 big-ip-format And this is where you can find the perl conversion scripts Cisco Ace to F5 Conversion Scripts

     

    Now from a personal experience doing an object by object conversion is the best way to go but don't forget to take in account some of the nice feature F5 provides. You might have to completely change your design when moving to F5. Take in consideration all the factors of your environment and how you get utilize the F5 to it's full potential.

     

    Hope that helps

    Today I saw a video on youtube.com of the channel of F5 where talk of an online tool to make the conversion of the configuration of ACE to F5.

     

    Anyone know if this tool is available? probe with the URL that you see in the video, and it worked.

     

    This is the link:
