Discard unreferenced firewall objects

Specifies whether addresses, schedules, and services that aren't referenced by a policy are saved and added to the output.

This option can be useful if your target device has table size limitations.

You can view the unreferenced objects that FortiConverter removed on the Tuning page.

Enable host behind zone attribute

Specifies whether FortiConverter restricts the destination or source IP addresses in the firewall policy it generates to the ones specified by the "host behind zone" settings in the source configuration.

When this option is disabled, FortiConverter ignores the "host behind zone" settings, and it uses the destination or source IP address specified by the source rule in the output policy.

Convert Administrative Zone ruleset

Specifies whether FortiConverter includes the default "administrative zone" ruleset in the output configuration.

The "administrative zone" ruleset is designed for device management, in most cases, it isn't required in the output configuration.

Adjust Service Table Capacity Size

You can customize the maximum table sizes that FortiConverter uses when "Adjust table sizes" is selected. For more information, see Adjusting table sizes.

Enable intra-partition zone rule set merge

Specifies whether FortiConverter creates FortiGate policies for traffic within a partition that the source configuration applies the multiple zone rulesets to.

For more information on how FortiConverter converts intra-partition zone rulesets to a FortiGate policy, see Alcatel-Lucent Conversion.

Include input configuration lines for each output policy

Specifies whether FortiConverter includes the input configuration lines used for each FortiGate policy in the FortiGate configuration as a policy comment.

Address comment

Specifies whether FortiConverter copies the address comment from source configuration to the converted FortiGate address.

Interface comment

Specifies whether FortiConverter copies the interface comment from the source configuration to the mapped FortiGate interface.

Service comment

Specifies whether FortiConverter copies the service comment from the source configuration to converted FortiGate service.
