What Configurations Convert From FireWall-1

The following limitations apply when converting FireWall-1 configurations to SunScreen. Some object-types and rules migrate with no difficulty, while others do not. FireWall-1 rules that do not migrate, contain an operation (on the Source, Destination, or Service) that SunScreen does not support. The following table lists what will and what will not migrate from FireWall-1 to SunScreen.
