Fortinet FortiGate 1000D FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-01006-189-02-12)

Migrating from a Cisco ASA, Palo Alto, SonicWall, or another legacy platform to a FortiGate 1000D involves far more than swapping hardware. Policy sets developed over years carry hundreds of rules, address objects, NAT entries, and static routes — re-entering them manually is slow and error-prone. The Fortinet FortiConverter Service for the FortiGate 1000D (SKU: FC-10-01006-189-02-12) automates that conversion, validated by Fortinet security experts, so the firewall goes live with the correct configuration from day one.

What FortiConverter Covers

FortiConverter is a one-time professional migration service, not a recurring subscription. Once activated, a 1-year entitlement window opens during which you submit source configuration files and Fortinet processes the conversion. The service migrates:

• Interface NAT rules
• Firewall policies and address objects
• Static routes
• FortiGate-to-FortiGate full configuration sets

Supported source platforms include Bluecoat, Check Point, Ciena (Vyatta), Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Forcepoint, Huawei, Juniper, Mikrotik, Palo Alto Networks, PFSense, SonicWall, Sophos, Ubiquiti, WatchGuard, and Zyxell. After Fortinet experts validate the converted configuration, you receive a summary report and full audit documentation for every conversion.

Who Buys This Service

FortiConverter for the FortiGate 1000D is used in two main scenarios:

• New FortiGate deployments: teams replacing a competing firewall with the FG-1000D and needing the legacy policy set translated cleanly into FortiOS.
• FortiGate platform upgrades: organizations already running FortiOS on an older model who are moving to the 1000D and want an exact configuration carry-over.

It suits network engineers who want Fortinet’s methodology and expert review applied to the conversion, rather than a manual re-entry exercise that risks gaps or misconfigurations.

Activation and Delivery

FortiConverter for the FortiGate 1000D is delivered electronically and is available worldwide. After purchase, you register the service on the Fortinet support portal. The cloud-based FortiConverter portal then accepts uploaded source configuration files and guides you through the conversion steps. Delivery is typically 0-1 business days from order confirmation. No hardware shipment is involved.

FortiConverter vs. Security Subscriptions

FortiConverter is a migration utility, not a security subscription. It handles the one-time configuration translation; ongoing threat protection (URL filtering, IPS, malware prevention, sandboxing) requires a separate FortiGuard bundle such as UTP or Enterprise, or individual service SKUs. Once the FortiGate 1000D is live and correctly configured via FortiConverter, the next step is activating the appropriate security and support layers on the same device. DataCenter360.ca lists both FortiGate 1000D security subscriptions and all 1000D hardware and licensing options to complete the deployment.
