Fortinet FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F30EG-189-02-12)

Standing up a FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL at a remote or cellular-connected site is the moment most teams discover how much policy lives in the firewall it is replacing. The FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL 1-Year FortiConverter service (FC-10-F30EG-189-02-12) converts the existing configuration from a third-party firewall into FortiOS for the 30E-3G4G-GBL, so the rule base comes across intact instead of being rebuilt link by link in the field. It is a one-time service delivered as a license, with no hardware and electronic delivery worldwide.

What this service covers

FortiConverter performs a structured migration of the source configuration:

• Configuration conversion: firewall policies, address and service objects, NAT rules, and interface settings are translated into equivalent FortiOS configuration for the 30E-3G4G-GBL.
• Common source platforms: migrations from Cisco ASA, Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, SonicWall, and Juniper are supported.
• Fewer manual errors: converting the rule base rather than retyping it cuts down the mistakes that creep into a remote-site cutover.
• One-time engagement: the entitlement covers the conversion effort for the migration, not a recurring feature.

Who needs it

This service is for anyone deploying a 30E-3G4G-GBL in place of another firewall and wanting the policy set to transfer cleanly, which matters even more when the site is hard to reach and a return visit is costly. A clean conversion before shipping the unit means fewer surprises once it is on cellular at the far end. Starting from a blank config, you would not need it.

How it works and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered against the FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL. As a one-time conversion service, it is best used during the migration window rather than held in reserve. Nothing ships, and having the device available lets you load and validate the converted configuration before it goes to site.

One service or a broader subscription

FortiConverter gets the configuration onto the device; it does not provide ongoing protection. Once the 30E-3G4G-GBL is live, security depends on FortiGuard subscriptions, which is where the UTP and Enterprise bundles come in with intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering. Because the 30E-3G4G-GBL is an older E-series model, a migration is also a sensible point to weigh a current cellular-capable G-series FortiGate if the deployment needs a longer runway.
