Bulk Conversion
The bulk conversion feature can convert more than one configurations in a single conversion. If there are many devices to be converted where all of them are the same model, and share the same interface mapping relationship in conversion, then bulk conversion can convert all of them at once.
Bulk conversion is supported in conversions for Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, SonicWall, McAfee, Sophos, Vyatta, WatchGuard and FortiGate.
Prepare source file
Collect all the configuration files to be converted, and compress them into a ZIP file.
Note: All the configuration files should have the same physical interfaces, and share the same interface mapping relationship.
FortiGate: For FortiGate migration, all the input configuration files should be migrated to the same model. So the default configuration of the model should be input in "Target Device Default Configuration", and all the source configurations should apply to the same target configuration.
Start Bulk Conversion
Click the option Bulk Conversion in the start page would enable bulk conversion.
Input the prepared ZIP file and click Next.
Input interface mapping
FortiConverter arbitrarily select one of the configuration files and extract physical interface name lists from it. The list is expected to be common to all the configuration files. Input interface mapping relationships and click Next.
VDOM mapping, route and IPSec VPN pages are skipped in the bulk conversion mode.
View conversion results
FortiConverter would convert all the configuration files one by one, using the same interface mapping relationship input previously. When all the conversions are completed, the summary page of the bulk conversion would be shown:
All the single conversions would be listed in the right hand side. For those conversions completed successfully, you can double click a conversion to open the tuning page or click the download icon to download the output FGT configuration. For failed conversions, you can click the question mark to see the error log. To download all the output FGT configurations of all the conversions at once, click Download All at the upper-right corner.
