Value of Forticonverter

Hello @wezza2 
As I understand that you are having a migration query.

It is recommended that the FortiConverter service is used for this task. Please be informed that using forticonverter would require a valid license.

Hello wezza2

The only think you might need to perform during migration steps you need to map:
"new-interface <-> old-interface"
Additionally, if you are using Fortitoken as 2FA you dont need to reassign.
You can easily verify the converted configuration.

FortiConverter is the best bet but keep in mind, it is not 100% conversion. Some config that is not compatible between both models will need to be adjusted manually.

If your approach is manual conversion, keep a copy of the original configuration at a minimum.

Thank you for the advice, I will keep it in my mind and if I want to know more, I will ask here.
