Before you start the conversion wizard, download your existing configuration to the computer where FortiConverter is installed. Procedures vary by vendor. Some vendors divide the configuration into multiple files, so make sure that you download all files. To acquire the configuration, download the following files. Firefox will appear in the End Devices tab. To set IP on port 1 run the following commands. Enter username 'admin' and empty password Finally, the portal will open and you should see the following I hope that this will help you in configuring FortiGate inside GNS3.
Second, when I restore the modified config I have major problems with the interface «switch» After the restore the «switch» has all other ports integrated and I cannot change it. So I am stuck and I cannot just restore to factory defaults. The D has a hardware switch, the B not. You need to check the factory default interface configuration from the D how the switch is configured and copy it to the backup from the B. This is the only way you can make it work. Please copy these settings to the backup configuration from the B.
Hi MP, thanks for your support. I worked now through I just left out the config from my old switch. Therefor you cannot copy the lines from 2. I need to migrate form a fortiwifi 50b Version 4. Is it possible to do so? What should I do? Hello, You can try it the same way with diferent versions.
Although it is not supported, most of the settings will be converted. I have Fortigate b with fortiOS 4. Unfortunately it is not possible to use a configuration from 4. But give it a try. Unfortunately this is not possible without losing certain configuration parts because the FortiGate C runs at most on FortiOS 5. But you can try the same procedure as stated in our article with copying the header lines and change the interface names. Can I backup the files to the system from C and connect the new firewall, login and restore the conf files back.
Will i have any issue if so how to solve this. Hi, The problem is that the C and the E do not have the same firmware releases available.
The latest release for the C is 5. That means you cannot restore the configuration wihtout any issues. The best way to solve this is to setup the E initially and copy and paste config parts from the C into the E.
When following all the steps, yes. We also published a new article with even more possibilities: How to transfer a FortiGate configuration to a newer model. When I restore the normal, edited backup, the configuration file was mismatched by restoring on 61E.
It is probably an issue with interfaces or administrators which are right at the top of the configuration. If you can login to the console, please check possible config errors with the following command: diag debug config-error-log read.
Unfortunately this it not that easy. For converting a configuration to another model, you should have the same version. But the 61E does not have a 5. You can still try to follow the steps in our article and check which features have been converted.
