SonicWall Interface mapping

SonicWall Interface mapping

You can manually map the interface.

  • To select the appropriate FortiGate interface, click the value in the FortiGate Interface column, and then select a value or enter a custom interface name.
  • To edit other values, double-click the proper column. Use the toolbar icon on the right to show and hide columns. You can also use the Tuning page to create mappings after the conversion is complete.
  • To import a set of interface mappings from a file, click Import.
  • To download the current set of interface mappings, click Export.
  • To delete an interface, select the entries you would like to delete, right click and select Delete Selected. This is useful if your target FortiGate has fewer interfaces than the source configuration.

The limit of the length of interface names in FortiOS is 15 characters. Interfaces in the source config which have longer names should be trimmed to a shorter name. It is recommended to trim the names manually to ensure readability. But if a quick trimming is needed, please select the entries, right click and select Trim Interface Name to trim the names into 15 characters automatically.
