Target Device Default Configuration

FortiConverter needs the default configuration of the target device to extract interface or other information of the target device. The default configuration should contain the same VDOM as those in the source config.

So if the source device contains multiple VDOMs, users should also create VDOMs with the same name on the target device before back up the default configuration.

Conversion Options

Append new object to avoid overwriting existing one

Enable this option to append configurations such as interface, route, Central-Nat table, and DHCP Server into the pre-exist configuration on the device.

Migrate device Hostname and Alias

Enable this option to migrate your hostname and alias in config system global setting.

Note that if the hostname in source config is the Serial Number, it’ll be skipped by converter even if this option is enabled.
