Product description

When a large enterprise swaps out its legacy data center firewall for a FortiGate 2601F-DC, the last thing the security team wants is weeks spent manually recreating thousands of firewall rules. FC-10-FD261-189-02-12 is a 1-year FortiConverter service subscription for the FortiGate 2601F-DC — a one-time, expert-guided migration that automates configuration translation from your existing firewall platform to FortiOS.

What FortiConverter Covers

FortiConverter Service converts firewall policies, address objects, NAT rules, and static routes directly within the FortiGate management console or through the FortiCloud migration portal. A Fortinet-certified engineer validates the converted configuration before delivery, and every migration comes with a formal summary report and audit documentation for compliance records.

Supported source platforms include Cisco (ASA and Meraki), Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, Juniper, Forcepoint, SonicWall, Sophos, Huawei, WatchGuard, Ubiquiti, Zyxel, MikroTik, pfSense, Bluecoat, and Ciena (Vyatta). FortiGate-to-FortiGate migrations — for example, upgrading from an older FortiGate series to the 2601F-DC — are also fully supported. Service highlights:

  • Automated policy and object conversion from legacy configurations
  • Expert validation by Fortinet-certified engineers before delivery
  • Interface NAT, firewall policy, address object, and static route migration covered
  • FortiOS-ready output applied through the console or cloud portal
  • Full audit trail and migration report included with every conversion

Who Needs This Service

The FortiGate 2601F-DC is a high-throughput data center firewall, and organizations deploying it typically inherit complex policy sets from Cisco, Check Point, or Palo Alto estates. At that scale, manual translation is not just slow — it introduces silent errors, policies that appear correct but behave differently under FortiOS. FortiConverter Service was designed for exactly this situation: replacing an enterprise or data center firewall where the configuration complexity makes a manual migration impractical or risky.

It is also the right call for security teams working under tight cutover windows, where there is no room to discover mis-mapped policies after go-live. The Fortinet expert review step is what separates this service from a raw automated conversion.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FD261-189-02-12 is an electronic subscription — nothing ships physically. After purchase, the license registers to the FortiGate 2601F-DC serial number through the FortiCare support portal at support.fortinet.com. The entitlement appears against the device within the 1-year subscription window. Delivery is worldwide; most customers receive their license confirmation within 0 to 1 business days of ordering.

FortiConverter Service vs the Tool

Fortinet offers two FortiConverter options: this Service (one-time, expert-guided) and the Tool (FC-10-CON01-401-01-12), a self-serve annual software subscription for organizations performing multiple migrations throughout the year. For a single data center firewall replacement like the 2601F-DC, the Service is the straightforward choice — submit the source configuration, receive a validated FortiOS output and audit report. If your team is consolidating multiple legacy firewalls onto a FortiGate estate over the course of a year, the Tool’s unlimited-migration model may be more cost-effective.

FortiConverter Service is separate from FortiCare support. Active FortiCare — available as FortiCare Premium (FC-10-FD261-247-02-12) — covers TAC access, firmware updates, and RMA for the 2601F-DC hardware. FortiConverter covers the migration event itself.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

What firewall platforms does FortiConverter support?
FortiConverter Service supports migration from Cisco ASA and Meraki, Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, Juniper, SonicWall, Sophos, Forcepoint, Huawei, WatchGuard, Ubiquiti, Zyxel, MikroTik, pfSense, Bluecoat, and Ciena (Vyatta). FortiGate-to-FortiGate migrations across model generations are also fully covered. If your specific source platform is not listed in the datasheet, contact Fortinet or DataCenter360.ca to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Is this a one-time migration or a recurring subscription?
FC-10-FD261-189-02-12 is a 1-year subscription entitlement, but it is consumed as a single migration event for the FortiGate 2601F-DC. The term defines how long the entitlement is available to initiate the conversion, not how many times the service runs. If your organization expects to perform many migrations across multiple devices during the year, the FortiConverter Tool (FC-10-CON01-401-01-12) provides unlimited conversions under a separate annual license.

Is this license geographically restricted?
No. FC-10-FD261-189-02-12 is an electronic software entitlement with no geographic restriction on delivery or registration. Customers worldwide can purchase and activate the license through the FortiCare portal. Note that the FortiGate 2601F-DC hardware is sold within Canada only by DataCenter360.ca; this software subscription has no such limitation.

Does FortiConverter replace FortiCare support?
No. FortiConverter Service covers the one-time configuration migration; it does not include TAC support, firmware updates, or hardware RMA. Active FortiCare — either Essential or Premium — is required separately for ongoing device support. FortiCare Premium for the FortiGate 2601F-DC is available as FC-10-FD261-247-02-12 and can be ordered alongside FortiConverter from DataCenter360.ca.

How long does the FortiConverter migration process take?
After submitting your source configuration, Fortinet’s expert team performs the conversion and validation. Turnaround times vary based on configuration complexity. Straightforward policy sets typically process within a few business days; large or complex configurations may take longer. Fortinet’s team communicates a timeline during the service initiation process. The full audit report and converted configuration are delivered together once validation is complete.
