Fortinet FortiGateRugged 50G-5G FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FR5G5-189-02-12)

Swapping a firewall is rarely the hard part. Re-creating years of accumulated policy on the new box, accurately, is. This 1-Year FortiConverter service (FC-10-FR5G5-189-02-12) covers a one-time, expert-assisted migration of an existing configuration onto a FortiGateRugged 50G-5G, so a field appliance goes live with its rules intact instead of rebuilt by hand under pressure.

What the service covers

FortiConverter handles the conversion of a firewall configuration onto the rugged 50G-5G: translating policies, address and service objects, NAT rules, and VPN settings from a third-party firewall or an older FortiGate into a working ruleset on the new device. The engagement includes validation so the converted configuration behaves as intended before the 50G-5G carries production traffic. The term is the support window for completing that migration.

When it makes sense

Reach for this when you are replacing a competitor’s firewall at an OT or edge site, consolidating onto the 50G-5G, or moving off older FortiGate hardware. On equipment that is awkward to reach and disruptive to take offline, a clean conversion shortens the cutover window and cuts the risk of a rule being dropped or mistyped during a manual rebuild.

Activation and delivery

The service is delivered electronically and is engagement-based rather than a feature that runs on the appliance. After purchase, the migration is scoped and carried out within the term, and nothing physical ships. Customers in any country can buy and use it.

A one-time service against ongoing coverage

FortiConverter is a project service, not protection. It gets the configuration onto the rugged 50G-5G; it does not provide threat coverage afterward. For ongoing security, pair the device with a UTP or Enterprise bundle, and add FortiCare Premium if you want priority support and faster hardware replacement. Those related licenses are listed with this page.
