When to migrate to new firewall rules?

[mlenje]

I just read that the 26.7 release is planned for July 15. Does that mean we need to migrate firewall rules before then?

I've been worry about this as well, but since the upgrade to 26.1.11 my new rules are populated without my having done anything, is this by design, did I miss something again when ready the release notes? :-)

thanks

The new rules are populated with old rules read only, they still only exist in the old rules.

Old rules have a distinct command button that opens the legacy rule page, and cannot be deleted/cloned in the new GUI

You still have to migrate eventually.

In 26.7 the old rules will be turned into a plugin, so they will still work. No pressure to migrate yet.

I recently took the plunge, and used the rules migration assistant tool, the UI was a little clunky, but it worked, and the migrated rules to new format are all working as intended...i've since deleted all the old legacy format rules...
