Fortinet FortiGate 81F-POE FortiConverter, 1-Year (FC-10-F81FP-189-02-12)

Switching platforms is hard enough without rebuilding every firewall policy by hand. The FC-10-F81FP-189-02-12 is a 1-Year FortiConverter subscription for the FortiGate 81F-POE, automating the migration of legacy firewall configurations from Cisco, Check Point, Palo Alto, Juniper, and other vendors directly into FortiOS — without manual re-entry or the risk of misconfigured rules.

What FortiConverter Covers

FortiConverter is a one-time configuration migration service. It reads your existing firewall’s exported config and translates address objects, security policies, NAT rules, and routing entries into a format the FortiGate can import. For the 81F-POE, that means your PoE branch consolidation project starts with a pre-populated ruleset rather than a blank slate. Fortinet typically delivers the converted configuration files within 5–10 business days of receiving the source config, electronically.

Who Benefits from This Service

FortiConverter is the right call when you are replacing a legacy firewall — Cisco ASA, Check Point, Palo Alto, SonicWall — with an 81F-POE, and the existing policy set is large enough that manual translation is error-prone or time-consuming. It’s also useful for consultants onboarding a new client site where the incumbent firewall is approaching end-of-life.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic service subscription. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers your license registration code by email within 0–1 business days. You then open a FortiConverter case through the Fortinet support portal, provide your source firewall’s config export, and Fortinet’s team processes the conversion. Service delivery is worldwide — no hardware shipment is involved.

FortiConverter vs. a Full Bundle

FortiConverter handles the one-time migration task. Once your FortiGate 81F-POE is up and running, you’ll want ongoing security services to protect the network. The FortiGate 81F-POE licensing page lists UTP and Enterprise subscription bundles that cover IPS, antivirus, web filtering, and support — the logical next step after migration is complete.
