Fortinet FortiGateRugged 70F FortiConverter, 1-Year (FC-10-F70FB-189-02-12)

Replacing a firewall is straightforward; re-creating years of security policy by hand is not. FC-10-F70FB-189-02-12 provides the FortiConverter service for the FortiGateRugged 70F, a tool that parses your existing firewall configuration (from vendors including Cisco, Check Point, Palo Alto, and others) and generates an equivalent FortiOS configuration ready for import.

What FortiConverter Does

FortiConverter reads the exported configuration from your outgoing firewall and maps its rules, address objects, service groups, NAT policies, and routing entries to their FortiOS equivalents. The output is a FortiGate-compatible configuration file you can review, adjust, and import during the cutover. This significantly reduces the risk of policy gaps during a migration and shortens the time your team spends re-entering rules manually.

Conversion is a one-time operation: the license term covers the conversion window, not an ongoing subscription to a running service. The 1-year term gives ample time to complete a planned migration project.

FortiConverter is an à-la-carte service not included in any FortiGuard subscription bundle. It does not overlap with or replace threat-intelligence services; it is purely a migration tool.

When You Need This on a FortiGateRugged 70F

The FGR-70F is frequently deployed to harden OT network perimeters that previously ran commodity or aging firewall hardware. When an organization replaces a Cisco ASA, a Juniper SRX, or an older firewall at an industrial site with the FGR-70F, FortiConverter can handle the policy translation rather than requiring a manual re-build of potentially hundreds of rules.

It is also useful in consolidation projects where multiple smaller sites each have their own legacy firewall configuration and are being standardized onto FortiGateRugged hardware.

Activation and Delivery

The FortiConverter subscription is delivered electronically. DataCenter360.ca sends the license activation details by email after purchase, typically the same business day. You redeem the license on the Fortinet support portal to access the FortiConverter tool. No hardware is shipped.

FortiConverter vs. Other FortiGateRugged 70F Licenses

FortiConverter is a one-time migration tool. Once the conversion is done, the other FortiGuard services are what keep the device protecting the network over time: FortiCare Premium for support, FortiGate Cloud for centralized management and logging, and FortiGuard threat-intelligence subscriptions for active defense. DataCenter360.ca carries the full catalog of FGR-70F licenses if you want to set up ongoing coverage alongside the migration.
