Fortinet Bulk Conversion

The Fortinet bulk conversion is primarily implemented through REST API install.

It’s necessary to have a target device connected to perform batch conversions from similar FortiGate models to one target model.

For example, consider the scenario below.

Three 60D and Two 80D devices are all prepared to migrate to target 100E device.

In other words, we only support migrating multiple models to one target model.

Please note,

  1. Before starting, users have to prepare a clean target device for processing the bulk conversion with REST API install, FortiConverter will establish the restorable configurations for each migration.
  2. Fortinet bulk conversion is only supported in Device mode.

The Start Page

  1. Click Bulk Conversion to enable Bulk conversion.
  2. Input a source config or device under Source Configuration and select one target device under Target Device.
  3. Click the "+" button to load the sub-conversion.
  4. After adding a sub-conversion, the target device column will be locked.
  5. Now you can input additional sub-conversions following step 2-3.

  6. Once all the sub-conversions are added, click Next to start the bulk conversion.
