Source Configuration

Select the input configuration file or a device.

Please note that devices with FortiOS v5.2 or older can only use configuration file input because it doesn’t support REST API feature. See Connecting FortiGate devices for more details.

Target Device (The device needs to be added in advance)

FortiConverter needs to extract interface or other information of the target device for conversion and import. If the source configuration has VDOM enabled, FortiConverter will enable the VDOM on the target device as well.

Bulk Conversion

If there are many devices to be converted where all of them are the same model and sharing the same interface in conversion, then the bulk conversion can convert all of them at once.

Switch to the bulk conversion mode, add each input configuration, and select a target device to perform the bulk conversion.
