About 14-day evaluation period

When a migration job is successful, you have 14 days to test and assess migration changes using Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center. If you are convinced about the migration changes, we recommend that you commit the devices manually, and not wait for Secure Firewall Management Center to automatically commit the migration changes. You have a 14-day evaluation period to review and assess the migration changes that are made to the devices before Secure Firewall Management Center automatically commits them.

After successful migration:

  • You have 14 days to evaluate configuration.

  • You can undo the changes and continue managing the device with On-Premises Firewall Management Center.

  • You can commit migration changes to Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.

After 14 days evaluation period:

  • Changes are automatically committed.

  • Revert is no longer possible after auto-commit.

During 14 day evaluation window:

  • High availability break may not be supported (depending on onboarding method).

  • Performing advanced high availability or cluster operations may result in migration commit failure.

  • Deleting devices is not allowed.

  • Changes made in Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center are lost, if reverted.

  • Do not create or modify domains or subdomains on the On-Premises Firewall Management Center if the domain change includes a Firewall Threat Defense device that was migrated to Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center. Commit the migration changes in Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center, or revert device management to the on-premises On-Premises Firewall Management Center, before you make domain changes that include the migrated device.

    If you create or modify a domain before the migration job is committed, deployment of the device and domain configuration can fail. You can continue to create or modify domains on the On-Premises Firewall Management Center for devices that remain managed by that On-Premises Firewall Management Center and are not part of an uncommitted migration job.
