Adjusting table sizes

Adjusting table sizes

The conversion wizard Start options page allows you to specify whether FortiConverter allows larger table sizes and group membership than default in the output configuration.

This is useful when, for example, the source configuration has a large address group and the target configuration can accommodate the larger group. Otherwise, FortiConverter converts the large address group into two or more smaller address groups for a single policy.

For example, FortiConverter uses the following default maximum table sizes by default:

  • Address groups – 2500
  • Addresses per group – 300
  • Custom service objects – 1024

When this option is selected, FortiConverter uses the following maximum table sizes:

  • Address groups – 20000
  • Addresses per group – 1500
  • Custom service objects – 4096

Viewing maximum table sizes for your target device

On your target system, enter the following command:

print tablesize

The maximum table sizes are displayed in a response similar to the following output:

firewall addrgrp: 0 20000 20000

firewall addrgrp: member: 1500 0 0

firewall service custom: 0 4096 0
