No Objects after successful Fortinet import in Palo Alto Expedition

L1 Bithead

After 'successfully' importing a FortiGate configuration file into Palo Alto Expedition, I do not see any Address Objects or Security Rules. I do see the Interfaces and Security Zones.

 

The FortiGate configuration file was exported using FortiiManager v6.0.7. The FortiGate is running firmware 6.0.6 in HA Mode Active-Passive. My Expedition version is 1.1.51.

 

What are the supported FortiGate versions for this version of Expedition?

 

Is there any way to investigate what happens during the configuration import phase?

@Solvinity,

I'm not sure how FortiManager actually exports the configuration. If you run the 'show full-configuration' command from the CLI and save the output to a text file and put that through Expedition it shouldn't give you any issues. Alternatively, exporting the config file directly from the GUI would give you the config in the same format. 

I'm guessing that something with how FortiManager exports the firewalls configuration is giving expedition issues.
