Fortinet FortiWiFi 81F-2R-POE FortiConverter Service (FC-10-WP81F-189-02-12)

Migrating from a legacy firewall to Fortinet does not have to mean rebuilding your ruleset from scratch. FC-10-WP81F-189-02-12 is the FortiConverter service for the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-POE: a one-time conversion that translates your existing firewall configuration into FortiOS format, reducing migration time and the risk of cutover misconfigurations.

What FortiConverter covers

FortiConverter analyzes your source firewall configuration and converts it to FortiOS policy format. Supported sources include Cisco ASA, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and other major vendors. The output is a FortiOS-compatible configuration import, validated for consistency and ready to apply to your FortiWiFi 81F-2R-POE during the migration window.

Who this service is for

IT teams switching to Fortinet from a competing vendor benefit most from FortiConverter. If your existing deployment has an extensive access control list, complex NAT rules, or VPN tunnels built in another vendor’s syntax, FortiConverter eliminates the manual translation work. It is also useful for mergers and acquisitions where networks running different firewall vendors need to converge onto a common FortiOS policy base.

Delivery and how it works

FC-10-WP81F-189-02-12 is an electronic service license delivered via email within 0-1 business days. After activation, you upload your source configuration file through Fortinet’s FortiConverter portal. Fortinet processes the conversion and returns a FortiOS-compatible configuration file ready for import to the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-POE. This is a one-time service, not a recurring subscription.

FortiConverter vs. the standard licensing bundles

FortiConverter is a migration utility, not a security subscription. It is not included in the UTP, ATP, or Enterprise FortiGuard bundles, and it does not provide ongoing threat protection. Its role is to get the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-POE running with a correctly translated policy set from day one, after which your FortiGuard security subscriptions handle ongoing protection.
