Fortinet FortiGate 1101E FortiConverter Migration Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F11E1-189-02-12)

Replacing a legacy firewall with a FortiGate 1101E means transferring years of policy rules, address objects, NAT configurations, and static routes — a task that is error-prone when done manually at this scale. The FortiGate 1101E 1-Year FortiConverter Service (FC-10-F11E1-189-02-12) is a one-time migration subscription that automates this transition, using Fortinet’s cloud portal and built-in FortiOS tooling to convert your source configuration directly — reducing cutover risk and saving the engineering hours that manual rekeying would require.

What FortiConverter covers

FortiConverter handles the configuration objects that take the most time to migrate correctly:

• Firewall policies and address objects: third-party policy rules are mapped into FortiGate format using Fortinet’s conversion engine, preserving intent while adapting syntax.
• Interface NAT rules and static routes: both are included in the automated conversion pass.
• Full FortiGate-to-FortiGate transfers: when upgrading from an older FortiGate to the 1101E, all configuration objects are fully supported.
• Broad third-party source support: Barracuda, Check Point, Cisco (IOS, ASA, Meraki), Forcepoint, Huawei, Juniper, Mikrotik, Palo Alto Networks, pfSense, SonicWall, Sophos, Ubiquiti, WatchGuard, and Zyxel.

Each migration produces a summary report and audit documentation, so you can review every converted object, flag anything that needed manual adjustment, and satisfy change-management sign-off requirements.

Who needs this service

FortiConverter is most useful in three situations. First, when an organization is moving a large policy estate to a FortiGate 1101E and the number of rules makes manual re-entry impractical. Second, when upgrading from an existing FortiGate to the 1101E and a validated, documented transfer is preferable to a raw config copy. Third, when the migration timeline is tight — the automated approach is measurably faster than hand-rekeying at the policy counts typical on a 1101E-class appliance.

This service covers a single migration event on one FortiGate 1101E unit. It is not a recurring subscription and does not include ongoing security services or threat intelligence updates.

Activation and delivery

After purchase, you receive an electronic entitlement. Register it on the Fortinet Support Portal under your FortiGate 1101E serial number to activate access. Two migration paths are then available: the FortiConverter cloud portal for third-party firewall migrations, or the built-in management console within FortiOS for FortiGate-to-FortiGate transfers. No hardware ships; activation is worldwide and typically confirmed within one business day of registration.

FortiConverter vs. a full licensing bundle

FortiConverter is a migration tool only. It does not provide IPS signatures, web filtering, antivirus coverage, or threat intelligence updates. Those services come from FortiGuard subscriptions sold separately. If the FortiGate 1101E is a new deployment that also needs active threat protection from day one, pairing this migration service with a FortiGuard UTP or Enterprise subscription covers both requirements. The two are additive and can be purchased on the same device.
