Check Point conversion wizard

The pages that the Check Point conversion wizard shows depend on whether your source configuration is SmartCenter or Provider-1.

Because Provider-1 uses global and device-level virtual domains that are similar to FortiManager ADOMs, you convert Provider-1 configurations to policy packages and objects for your source firewalls in the FortiManager Policy & Objects database. You can only select FortiManager as the output format on the Start options page.

Caution

The administrator password is not set on the new configuration.

For third-party conversions, the trusted host settings are converted. Check the trusted host settings to ensure they allow management access from the relevant network interfaces.

To start a new conversion

1. Start FortiConverter.

2. When start-up is complete, a browser window automatically opens to http://127.0.0.1:8000.

3. Click New Conversion, located at the top right corner.

4. Enter a name for the conversion configuration.

5. For Vendor, choose Check Point block.

6. Choose a Model, if applicable.

7. Click OK.

The configuration page opens to the Start page, and you can input your settings.
