Going from Fortinet to Cisco Meraki MX68

[Pluto]

This is Pluto - Hope everyone is well! Would like to know if anyone has recently or in the past converted from Fortinet firewall to Cisco Meraki MX68? With no conversion tool this process is one I would like to gain some insight on so I’m here reaching out. Any suggestions, tips or a good consultant anyone would like to recommend. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Pluto ,

we undertook such a migration for a customer a couple of years back across their estate.  Something like 15+ firewalls migrated to Meraki MXs.

It’s all in the prep.  We went through every firewall rule on their Fortigates and documented them. The rules were reviewed with the customer and amendments made.

We then pre-configured the MXs prior to deployment and migrated over weekends and evenings to allow for issues to be resolved.

That's going to be a lot of work!
