Change Interface Types

For 3rd party conversions, FortiConverter doesn’t allow users to change the interface types in the interface mapping page, but it can be completed in the tuning page. Various kinds of interface type changes can be performed. This section shows the way to change a physical interface into an aggregate interface as an example.

  1. Map the interface name in the source configuration into the new interface name ("LAG", as an example) in the interface mapping page:

    FortiConverter doesn’t support changing the interface type in the interface mapping page, so we can only change the name first.

  2. Proceed the conversion to the tuning page, and go the tuning table of interfaces.
  3. If the members in the aggregate interface are not in the source configuration and thus not in the table, please click "New interface" to create them:

  4. Double click the interface that will be changed to an aggregate interface, change its type into "aggregate" and add members into it.

  5. FortiConverter will output the aggregate interface and the newly created members as config lines.
