Fortinet FortiGate 30G FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FG30G-189-02-12)

Swapping out a Cisco, SonicWall, or aging FortiGate in front of your network usually means rebuilding hundreds of rules by hand, and that manual step is exactly where mistakes slip in. The FortiGate 30G FortiConverter Service (FC-10-FG30G-189-02-12) hands that work to Fortinet’s migration team, which translates your existing firewall configuration into FortiOS for the 30G and validates it before you cut over. It is a one-time service sold as a subscription license, with no hardware and electronic delivery to any country.

What this service covers

FortiConverter uses proven, repeatable conversion methods rather than a hand transcription of your rule base, so the result is predictable and documented:

• Automated configuration conversion: existing policies, objects, and routing are mapped into FortiOS using Fortinet’s conversion engine, cutting the human error that creeps into manual rebuilds.
• Expert policy validation: Fortinet engineers review the converted ruleset to confirm it behaves as intended before the 30G goes live.
• Broad source support: migrations are supported from Check Point, Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Forcepoint, Juniper, Palo Alto Networks, pfSense, SonicWall, Sophos, WatchGuard, and other common firewalls.
• Summary report and audit trail: every conversion comes with documentation of what was migrated, which is useful for change control and for the post-cutover review.

Who needs it

This service fits a team standing up a FortiGate 30G as a replacement for a third-party firewall, or one trading a well-used older FortiGate for the 30G and wanting its configuration carried forward cleanly. It is most valuable when nobody on staff has the hours, or the appetite, to recreate a mature policy set by hand and risk a missed rule on go-live day.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered against the project. FortiConverter is a one-time configuration conversion, so the engagement is scoped to migrating your source configuration onto the 30G rather than to ongoing coverage. Nothing ships. You provide the existing firewall configuration, and the converted FortiOS policy is returned for review and deployment.

What it does, and what it does not

FortiConverter moves your configuration; it does not provide the threat protection that keeps the 30G defended once it is live. Intrusion prevention, antivirus, web filtering, and application control come from the UTP or Enterprise subscription, and most teams pair one of those with the migration so the new firewall is both correctly configured and actively protected from the first packet.
