Saving the McAfee source configuration file

Before starting the conversion wizard:McAfee, save a copy of your configuration file to the computer where FortiConverter is installed.

The following is for McAfee Firewall Enterprise 8. The config is binary therefore the output of the following commands must be saved to a text file for FortiConverter.

  • Interface and Zone (cf interface|zone|zonegroup query)
  • Address object and address group object (cf domain|ipaddr|iprange|subnet|netgroup query)
  • Service object and service group object (cf application|appgroup query)
  • Admin users and firewall users & user groups (cf adminuser query, cf udb query, cf usergroup query)
  • Static routes (cf route query)
  • Firewall Policy (cf policy query)
