Output an unreferenced object

You can output unreferenced objects from the address, address group, service, and service group categories. To do so, you must move unreferenced objects from the unreferenced table to the converted objects table.

If you enable the "Discard unreferenced objects" option in the start page, FortiConverter scans each object and checks whether it is referenced by policies, central NAT rules or other objects.

To output an unreferenced object

1. Select the object category you want to include in your output.

Note: You can only output unreferenced objects from the address, address group, service, and service group categories.

2. In the Table Type field, select "unreferenced".

• converted - Objects are referenced and can be generated to the outputs.
• unreferenced - Objects are not referenced and generally cannot be generated to the outputs.
• unconverted - Objects cannot be converted by FortiConverter tool. They are not supported by FortiOS, or by FortiConverter.

Select the object(s) you want to output.

You can select the entire table by right-clicking and selecting Select All from the context menu.

Right-click to view the context menu.

Select Move to Converted.

FortiConverter moves the selected objects to the converted category.

In the upper-right of the page, click Download Configuration.

The configuration of the objects are included in the output.
