Bulk Conversion |
If there are many devices to be converted where all of them are the same model, sharing the same interface mapping relationship in conversion, then bulk conversion can convert all of them at once. Collect all the configuration files to be converted, compress them into a ZIP file and use the ZIP file as the input. |

|
Target device |
Select the model of the target device, or select a device connected to FortiConverter. |
| Conversion Options | |
| Discard unreferenced firewall objects | Specifies whether addresses and services that aren't referenced by a policy are saved and added to the output. This option can be useful if your target device has table size limitations. You can view the unreferenced objects that FortiConverter removed on the Tuning page. |
| Increase Address and Service Table Sizes for High-End Models | You can customize the maximum table sizes that FortiConverter uses when Adjust table sizes is selected. For more information, see Adjusting table sizes. |
| Comment Options | |
| Service Group Comment | Specifies whether FortiConverter copies the service group comment from the source configuration to the FortiGate service group. |
| Nat Merge Options | |
|
Enable central NAT merge |
Specifies whether FortiConverter converts NATs to FortiGate central NATs instead of policy-based NATs. Currently only central NAT mode is supported, and NAT is available only for the SG model. |
