Product description

Migrating a high-capacity firewall like the FortiGate 2601F is not something a team should tackle manually. FC-10-F26F1-189-02-12 is the FortiGate 2601F FortiConverter Service (1-Year), a one-time subscription that gives your team a structured, Fortinet-validated path for converting an existing firewall configuration to FortiOS on the FG-2601F. Whether you are moving from a third-party platform or refreshing an older FortiGate to the 2601F, this service removes the guesswork and substantially reduces the risk of misconfigured policies during cutover.

What FortiConverter Covers

FortiConverter Service handles configuration translation at the policy level, automating the most error-prone steps of a firewall migration:

  • Converts interface NAT, firewall policies, address objects, and static routes from the source device
  • Supports over 15 third-party source vendors: Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall, Sophos, WatchGuard, Barracuda, Huawei, Forcepoint, pfSense, Ubiquiti, Zyxel, Cisco Meraki, and others
  • Full FortiGate-to-FortiGate migration supported (model refreshes, platform upgrades)
  • Integration within the FortiGate management console for on-box FortiOS-native conversions
  • Cloud portal for third-party source file uploads with entitlement visibility across registered FortiGate devices
  • Fortinet security experts validate the converted configuration; a summary report and audit documentation are delivered with every conversion

Who Needs This Service

This SKU is specifically licensed for the FortiGate 2601F, a high-end chassis firewall built for data center edges, large campus perimeters, and service provider environments. Organizations that benefit most from this service include:

  • Teams replacing an aging third-party firewall with the FG-2601F and needing the existing policy base carried over cleanly
  • Network engineers refreshing an older FortiGate (such as a 2500E or 2200E) and migrating its accumulated rule set to the 2601F
  • Projects with tight cutover windows where manual recreation of hundreds of firewall policies is not feasible
  • Security teams that require documented audit trails and expert configuration review before production go-live

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F26F1-189-02-12 is a software entitlement with no physical component. After purchase, the license is delivered electronically to the email address on the order within 0 to 1 business days. Activation is performed through the Fortinet Support Portal by registering the service against the FortiGate 2601F serial number. Once active, the FortiConverter cloud portal is accessible for source configuration uploads, and the on-box integration is available directly within FortiGate’s management console under the running FortiOS version.

This is a one-time service entitlement. It covers a single configuration conversion event for the registered FG-2601F unit and does not renew automatically.

FortiConverter vs. a Security Subscription Bundle

FortiConverter is a migration tool, not an ongoing security subscription. It does not activate firewall inspection, URL filtering, intrusion prevention, sandboxing, or threat intelligence feeds. If the FG-2601F also requires active FortiGuard services, those need to be purchased separately:

  • UTP (Unified Threat Protection) covers IPS, Application Control, Web Filtering, Antivirus, and Antispam for the 2601F
  • Enterprise Protection adds FortiSandbox Cloud, SD-WAN, Security Rating, and OT/IoT threat intelligence on top of UTP
  • FortiCare Premium provides 24×7 technical support with 1-hour critical issue response and advanced hardware replacement

Purchasing FortiConverter at the same time as the FG-2601F hardware and a FortiGuard bundle covers both the migration step and the ongoing security posture in a single procurement event.

What is FC-10-F26F1-189-02-12?

It is the FortiGate 2601F FortiConverter Service, a 1-year one-time migration subscription sold by Fortinet and fulfilled by authorized partners. The service automates the conversion of legacy firewall configurations to FortiOS on the FG-2601F, including support for source firewalls from over 15 third-party vendors and full FortiGate-to-FortiGate migrations. Fortinet security experts validate the output and deliver a conversion audit report.

Is this a recurring subscription or a one-time service?

FortiConverter Service (identified by the -189- service code in the SKU) is a one-time entitlement for a single configuration conversion event on the registered FortiGate 2601F. It does not auto-renew and is not a recurring annual security feed. If a second migration is needed later (such as another hardware refresh), the service would be purchased again at that time.

Which source firewalls does FortiConverter support?

Supported source vendors include Barracuda, Bluecoat, Check Point, Ciena (Vyatta), Cisco (ASA and IOS), Cisco Meraki, Forcepoint, Huawei, Juniper, Mikrotik, Palo Alto Networks, pfSense, SonicWall, Sophos, Ubiquiti, WatchGuard, and Zyxel. All FortiGate-to-FortiGate migrations are fully supported regardless of source model or FortiOS version.

Is this service available outside Canada?

Yes. FC-10-F26F1-189-02-12 is a software license delivered electronically and is available to organizations in any country. DataCenter360.ca fulfills licensing orders worldwide; the entitlement key is sent by email and activated through the Fortinet Support Portal. No physical shipment is involved.

Does FortiConverter replace the need for a FortiGuard security subscription on the FG-2601F?

No. FortiConverter handles configuration migration only; it does not activate IPS, web filtering, antivirus, application control, sandboxing, or any other FortiGuard security service. To enable active threat prevention on the FortiGate 2601F, a separate FortiGuard subscription such as the UTP or Enterprise Protection bundle is required. Many organizations purchase FortiConverter alongside a security bundle to cover both migration and ongoing protection in a single order.
