Fortinet FortiGate 121G FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F121G-189-02-12)

Migrating firewall policies from another vendor’s platform to Fortinet’s FortiOS is one of the most time-consuming parts of a FortiGate 121G deployment. FC-10-F121G-189-02-12 is a 1-year FortiConverter subscription that automates the configuration conversion process, translating existing security policies, NAT rules, and address objects from source vendor format to FortiGate 121G format — reducing what would otherwise be days of manual policy migration.

What FortiConverter Does

FortiConverter reads configuration exports from the source firewall platform and generates a converted FortiGate-compatible configuration file. Policy structure, address objects, service definitions, and NAT entries are translated to FortiOS equivalents where mappings exist. The result isn’t always a perfect one-to-one translation — features without direct FortiGate equivalents still require manual handling — but the service eliminates the bulk of the conversion work for standard policy sets. Supported source platforms include Cisco ASA, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and others.

Who Uses FortiConverter

Organizations replacing a legacy or competing firewall with the FortiGate 121G are the primary users. IT teams migrating a site from Cisco ASA, Check Point, or Palo Alto typically save significant time compared to manually rebuilding policies from scratch in FortiOS. The 1-year subscription is a one-time use tool for most deployments — the migration happens once, and the subscription covers that conversion project.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically within 0–1 business days. The FortiConverter service is accessed through Fortinet’s support portal after registering the key against the FortiGate 121G serial number. Available worldwide — there are no geographic restrictions on access or delivery.

FortiConverter vs. Manual Migration

A typical 300-rule firewall policy set that might take 3–5 days to manually re-enter into FortiOS can often be converted by FortiConverter in a fraction of the time, with review and adjustment of exception cases taking the remainder of the effort. Manual migration is error-prone at scale and difficult to validate comprehensively. FortiConverter produces a documented output that can be reviewed and spot-checked before committing to the FortiGate 121G as the production device.
