Hello,
I'm new here on the forum and I need some help...
I would like to know if my Wildcard bellow converting to Fortinet is correct?
10.128.80.224/0.63.13.31 -> 00000000.00111111.00001101.00011111 - Wildcard Cisco 10.128.80.224/255.192.242.224 ->11111111.11000000.11110010.11100000 - Wildcard Fortigate
While I have never used a wildcard object (Cisco or FortiGate), after doing a quick search it seems you've got it.

To you better understand our challenge, We are moving an ACL from our old Cisco switch to a new Fortinet firewall. This is an example of some lines we´re triyng to move:
ACLs Old Cisco:
10.128.80.224 0.63.13.31 10.206.5.0 0.0.0.31 10.128.80.224 0.63.13.31 10.206.11.0 0.0.0.15 10.192.80.224 0.7.13.31 10.206.11.0 0.0.0.15 Even after we check for Official Guide (the link you provide) how to configure wildcard mask, I still have doubt, cause I'm not found an example that matches the wildcard we are using. Basically lobstercreed, I want help to understand the Fortinet´s wild mask standard. I want to know if this ACL address using IP/wildmask 10.128.80.224/0.63.13.31, will reflect the same configuration on Fortinet´s policy if I´ll configure 10.128.80.224/255.192.242.224.
You're going to have to prove it to yourself then. The guide says it will work, but you still doubt it.
I don't have a network designed the way you're describing and I'm not interested in spending the time setting up a test for something I will probably never use.
You already have a network where you can test this, so I'd recommend doing as you've described which follows the guide exactly. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
