Fortinet FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F51GP-189-02-12)

Migrating off a legacy firewall is where most FortiGate deployments stall: rebuilding hundreds of rules by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. FortiConverter exists to take that work off your plate. This service gives you a one-time, Fortinet-assisted conversion of an existing third-party configuration into clean FortiOS policy for the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE.

What FortiConverter covers

The service migrates firewall policies, network objects, NAT rules, and routing from supported third-party platforms such as Cisco, Check Point, and Palo Alto into a FortiOS configuration ready to load onto the 51G-SFP-PoE. Fortinet’s conversion process preserves intent while translating syntax, which removes the manual transcription that introduces gaps and typos in a hand migration.

Who needs it

Anyone replacing an incumbent firewall with the 51G-SFP-PoE benefits, especially when the existing rule base is large or has grown messy over years of edits. It is equally useful for managed service providers standardizing a fleet of client sites on Fortinet, where consistent, fast conversions keep a rollout on schedule.

Activation and delivery

Register the entitlement against the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE, then use it within the twelve-month window to run the conversion. The license is emailed, so nothing ships. FortiConverter is a one-time service rather than continuous protection, so plan to use it during your migration project.

A single service, not a bundle

FortiConverter is a migration tool, not ongoing security. Once the 51G-SFP-PoE is live, pair it with a FortiGuard UTP or Enterprise bundle for day-to-day threat protection and FortiCare for support. Those subscriptions carry the device forward after the one-time conversion is done.
