Migrating from ASA to Firepower2140

[donelbokel]

I have a work task my boss committed me to. Migrate from an ASA 5525 running 9.12(3)9 to Firepower 2140 they bought two years ago and failed to migrate.

Question1: Should I use platform or appliance mode? From what I can tell platform but I have no idea if I"m on the right path there.

Hello @donelbokel,

since you are coming from a classic ASA going for appliance mode will make your migration easier.

This will allow you to copy/paste much of your configuration and manage the device in a way that’s very similar to your ASA as you continue to configure everything from the CLI or ASDM.

HTH!
