Requirements
Configurations that may block device-accessing can be removed by FortiConverter, you might need to configure these settings manually after the configuration restoration. The settings you should check on are:
- The administrator password
- The IP of interface "mgmt"
- The "accprofile" setting of administrators
- The "trusthost" setting of administrators
For FortiGate conversion, the default admin account settings may be overwritten after the configuration restoration. For example, if the old FortiGate set the default admin access to disabled, you should temporarily enable this admin access before the restoration.
config system global
set admin-maintainer enable
end
#config-version=FGT60E-6.0.10-FW-build0365-200617:opmode=0:vdom=0:user=admin
The "opmode=0" in the configuration header does not affect the setting on the FortiGate.
If you want to change the opmode to transparent mode, you should add the CLI below.
config system settings
set opmode transparent
set manageip 172.23.1.111/255.255.255.0
end
|
FortiConverter does not change these CLI during the conversion. If the source configuration has been set to the transparent mode, then, it’ll keep this settings in the configuration after the conversion. |
The conversion output consists of two main parts:
- The first part is the default configuration of the target device.
- The second part starts with the commented out line "#migrated config starts", and follows with the migrated source configuration.
If you want to modify the output config manually, we suggest you modify only the second part because the definition from the first part will be overwritten by the following definition.
