Fortinet FortiGate 400E-BYPASS FortiConverter, 1-Year (FC-10-F4HBE-189-02-12)

Migrating from a competing firewall to the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS involves translating potentially thousands of rules, objects, and NAT policies into FortiOS syntax. FortiConverter automates that translation. The FC-10-F4HBE-189-02-12 is a one-year FortiConverter service subscription tied to the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS — used once to convert an existing configuration and then inactive until the next migration need.

What FortiConverter Does

FortiConverter reads configuration exports from supported third-party firewalls (Cisco ASA, Check Point, Palo Alto, Juniper SRX, and others) and generates an equivalent FortiOS configuration file. The resulting config can be reviewed, adjusted, and imported directly into the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS. This cuts migration time from days or weeks to hours, and it substantially reduces the risk of policy gaps during cutover.

Who Needs This

Any team replacing a third-party firewall with the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS benefits from FortiConverter, particularly when the existing rule base is large or undocumented. It’s also useful during consolidation projects where multiple legacy devices are being replaced in a single migration window. If you’re building from scratch on FortiOS, you don’t need it.

Activation and Delivery

The license key is delivered electronically after order, typically within one business day. Register the key on the Fortinet support portal and download the FortiConverter tool. The conversion is run locally or via the cloud portal depending on the FortiConverter version licensed. No hardware ships.

One Service vs. a Full Bundle

FortiConverter is an à-la-carte service — it is not part of the UTP or Enterprise bundles. There is no bundle equivalent; you purchase it separately regardless of what security subscriptions the device carries. Once the migration is complete, the subscription remains in a dormant state and can be used again if a subsequent migration is needed within the license year.
