No, you need to analyze the existing configuration on the Sonicwall and manually configure it on the MX.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

As already mentioned it’s not a swift process nor are there any migration tools.

 

id take the time and effort to document and review the current rulesets. Tidy up where required.

 

then it’ll be a manual process to configure your new Meraki fw.

Meraki doesn't offer a migration service like some other vendors do, I suspect the reason is MX are quite a bit different in the way they are managed compared to other brands. 

 

My suggestion would be to plan the migration out in stages i.e. research/planning/ initial config/ changeover/tidy up/  debrief. This thigns always involve downtime but this can be reduced with good planning and execution.
