Migrating ZyXEL to FortiGate
Hi all,
No doubt I' ll be swamping this board with noob posts as I am attempting to install a FG-50B at my company. Please be patient with me as these devices seem very complex to me! :(
The firewall I am replacing is a ZyXEL 10W (installed by a third party long before I started the company) and I am attempting to imitate the rules on the new FG-50B.
But not without problems... (don' t suppose anyone has experience translating the rules from a ZyXEL at all?!).
The FG-50B seems far more sophisticated, but with the trade-off of being more complex (at least to me).
Some of the port-forwarding I have attempted to re-create just doesn' t seem to work. One being with my OpenVPN users, which require port 1194 opening up and forwarded to my OpenVPN server.
It seems no matter what I tried yesterday, my server just didn' t see any 1194 traffic.
One thing to note is that on the ZyXEL I have the following settings (enabled setting is surrounded with asterisks:
MAIN MENU -> WAN -> WAN IP -> Network Address Translation
[None]
**[SUA Only]**
[Full Feature]
I don' t know exactly what SUA is, and there appears to be no reference to it in the FG-50B. Is the fact that the ZyXEL used this feature anything I need to be concerned with when configuring the FG-50B for compatibility?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for the replies, it' s great to see an active, helpful forum - fills me with much more confidence :o)
Using these tips I have now successfully created some rules for OpenVPN, mail servers, HTTP ports etc. It' s looking very ' ZyXEL-like' now!
I had consulted the online docs, but the examples I' d come across seemed to go into great detail for creating advanced VPNs or using DMZ' s etc. For my first step of creating a straight-forward port opening/forwarding, the docs left me a little intimidated and confused!
Thanks to you guys though, I am making great progress
