WatchGuard Start options

This table lists the start settings.

Setting Description

Profile

Description

Enter a description of the configuration.

Output Options

Output Format

Select the appropriate output for your target Fortinet device.

FOS Version

The configuration syntax is slightly different among FortiOS 6.4, 7.0, 7.2, and 7.4. Select the version that corresponds to the FortiOS version on the target.

Input

Source Configuration

Select the input file.

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 (Optional)

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.

Policy index start from 1 instead of 10000

When selected, the serial number of firewall policies will start from 1 instead of 10000.

NGFW policy-based mode

When selected, the conversion will be in NGFW policy-based mode.

"firewall policy" will become "firewall security-policy" instead, and "set application 00000" will be generated in policies, which requires manual processing. There will also be some other minor differences adapted for the NGFW policy-based CLI.
