Fortinet FortiGate 200G FortiConverter Migration Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FG2HG-189-02-12)

Migrating to a FortiGate 200G from another firewall vendor — Cisco, Palo Alto, Check Point, or others — means translating years of accumulated firewall policies into FortiOS syntax. The FC-10-FG2HG-189-02-12 covers one year of FortiConverter access: Fortinet’s policy migration tool that parses your existing configuration and converts it to FortiGate format, cutting migration time significantly compared to manual re-entry.

What FortiConverter Does

FortiConverter handles the most time-consuming part of a firewall migration:

• Reads existing firewall configurations from supported third-party vendors
• Maps addresses, services, policies, NAT rules, and routing entries to FortiGate equivalents
• Generates a FortiOS-compatible configuration ready to import onto the FortiGate 200G
• Flags untranslatable rules and objects that require manual review
• Reduces policy migration from days or weeks to hours in most environments

Who Needs This Service

FortiConverter is useful for any organization migrating to a FortiGate 200G from a different firewall platform. It’s particularly valuable when the existing ruleset is large (hundreds or thousands of policies) or when the migration timeline is tight. Network engineers who’ve done manual migrations before tend to find FortiConverter saves significant effort, especially on NAT and address-object translation.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FG2HG-189-02-12 is an electronic license key delivered worldwide within 0–1 business days. After registering the key on the Fortinet Support Portal, you gain access to the FortiConverter tool to begin your migration project. This is a service license — no hardware ships with this order. The “1-Year” term covers the duration of your FortiConverter access, not the FortiGate 200G hardware warranty.

FortiConverter vs. a Full Security Bundle

FortiConverter is a migration tool — it is not a security subscription. After completing your migration to the FortiGate 200G, you’ll need FortiGuard security services to protect your network. Consider the FortiCare Premium support subscription (FC-10-FG2HG-247-02-12) for technical support, and a UTP or Enterprise bundle for ongoing FortiGuard security coverage. FortiConverter gets you onto the 200G; the bundles keep it protected long-term.
