For everybody interested, I emailed my support team and they told me that
there is a tool called (i2j) that basically will convert extended access (
I dont know if any other type of config) list into firewall filters. Is
not perfect but is a good begining.

This tool is not open for the public.

I used it today, and it works really good.

thanks to everybody that replied to my email

Thanks
German
