Hello,
Since FortiConverter is not a free tool, any advise for migrating from Cisco ASA to FortiGate smoothly?

You do not need a conversion tool in order to do NAT. Look at each NAT and apply it a central-NAT or per-policy as required. The concept are equally the same between ciscoASA and FortiOS

Thank of central net the same as ciscoASA, Palo,Juniper,CHKP,Forcepoint NAT-tables. YMMV but both are equally beneficial and easy concepts to figure out. Ken Felix

Thanks for the explanation, actually i have the below cases that i'm still stuck with due to have no experience in Cisco ASA NAT statements;
- nat (inside,outside) source static MYADD MYADD
- nat (inside,outside) source static PRV-SRV1 Pub-SRV2 destination static B1 B1 unidirectional
Your advise please
Central NAT Will be used
i am having same problems migrating ASA NAT to FG NAT. I used the forticonverter but i dont know how reliable it is. If anyone has a guide it would be helpful. It is confusing when nat involves VPN network as a destination. Cisco has nat with (inside,outside) but would that be same on FG? It kind of is the outside interface but on FG you make a sub interface within outside/wan for the VPN. i already made vpn tunnel and static routes
what kind of guide are you looking for? there is no exact explanation on how forticonverter takes specific ASA config and translates it. that you will need to find out by trying.
the problem as i see it is that ASA has a number of ways to do NAT and specially when you combine these things get complicated. but that is an ASA thing, not a FortiGate thing. so if you need a clear explanation how your ASA config works you better off on a Cisco / ASA forum.
on the FortiGate side it is quite simple.
[ul]
if you need to source and destination NAT you use an IP Pool and VIP in one policy.
with these two elements i have able to do all the NATing i need.
yes there is central NAT table option but im ignoring that, seen it used in a fraction of the cases.
FWIW
Most migrations jobs do a sloppy job on NAT if any are translated. I personally have not use the forticonverter in since 2014 , so I do not know if any improvements have been made. You might to just tackle these by hand and apply them as required.
