Fortinet interface mapping
You can manually map the interface.
- To select the appropriate FortiGate interface, click the value in the FortiGate Interface column, and then select a value or enter a custom interface name.
- To edit other values, double-click the proper column. Use the toolbar icon on the right to show and hide columns. You can also use the Tuning page to create mappings after the conversion is complete.
- To import a set of interface mappings from a file, click Import.
- To download the current set of interface mappings, click Export.
- To delete an interface, select the entry and click Delete Selected. This is useful if your target FortiGate has fewer interfaces than the source configuration
