Fortinet FortiWiFi 80F-2R-A FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-W080F-189-02-12)

Migrating a mid-size branch from a legacy firewall to FortiWiFi 80F-2R-A does not have to start with a blank policy slate. The 1-Year FortiConverter Service for the FWF-80F-2R-A translates existing firewall configurations from competing platforms into FortiOS format, compressing a multi-day manual re-entry project into hours.

What FortiConverter Does

FortiConverter is a policy migration utility available through the Fortinet support portal. Once your subscription is active, you download the FortiConverter tool, point it at an exported config file from your current firewall, and it outputs a FortiOS-compatible policy set ready to import into the FWF-80F-2R-A. Rule objects, address groups, NAT entries, and service definitions are all translated.

• Converts Cisco ASA, Check Point, Palo Alto, Juniper, and other major platforms
• Translates firewall rules, address objects, NAT policies, and service groups
• Reduces manual re-entry risk and accelerates cutover timelines
• Runs on a Windows workstation — not on the FortiWiFi appliance itself

Who Needs It

This subscription is for organizations actively replacing an existing firewall with FWF-80F-2R-A. It is especially valuable when the incumbent device carries several hundred policy rules — the kind of rule set where manual migration introduces errors or takes longer than the maintenance window allows. MSPs managing multiple site migrations for clients also find FortiConverter a significant time saver.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-W080F-189-02-12 delivers electronically within one business day. Register the contract in your FortiCare account to gain download access to the FortiConverter software. The subscription is tied to the FWF-80F-2R-A serial number but the tool itself is used during the migration phase, not as an ongoing running process on the device.

One Service vs. the Bundle

FortiConverter is an à-la-carte migration tool, not included in any bundle tier. It is a one-project service: you use it during migration, renew if a second migration project arises, and then the subscription is simply an open entitlement. Pairing it with a UTP or Enterprise bundle at the time of purchase covers both the migration tooling and the ongoing threat prevention subscription your FWF-80F-2R-A needs post-cutover.
