Cisco ASA/PIX/FWSM conversion: Plans to auto-expand DM_INLINE.. Groups ?

Hello,

 

while 5.4 really looks good,

I am missing an option to automatically expand the implicit address-

and service groups named DM_INLINE... to their members.

 

These are generated automatically by Cisco GUIs when an admin graphically

adds more than one object in a place/context where the Cisco cli only supports one object.

 

Fortinet supports multiple object in most of those use cases,

so you could insert the members of an DM_INLINE... group directly

into the converted fortinet config in most cases.

 

The same applies for configs generated by Cisco Secutity Manaer "CSM_INLINE..."  groups.

 

Regards,

Frank

Hello Frank,

 

For the Cisco ASA/PIX/FWSM conversions, we have added an option toward the new browser-based tool(the installer file is *.py.exe).

 

The option is:

Conversion Options -> Suppress auto grouped items from Cisco ASDM/CSM

This option will automatically replace all network objects, which leading by "DM_INLINE_XXX" or "CSM_INLINE_XXX" prefix, with it's actual members.

 

Thanks,

Dunxing

Hello Frank,

 

This feature is available AFTER v5.4.1 GA release.

If you want an interim build for test, please kindly drop a letter to fconvert_feedback@fortinet.com (for external user), or visit Fortinet info site (for internal user) to download v5.5.0 build.

 

Thanks,

Dunxing
