Manage your firewall objects

The Tuning page has several features enabling you to view, add, edit, and delete your various firewall objects.

To review the converted objects

1. In the upper-left corner, click FortiGate Configuration.



A list of object categories loads in the menu bar, and a table of interface is displayed.

A table containing information about that object category loads.



In the address, address group, service, and service group tables, some object rows are highlighted in yellow.

You cannot find the definition for these kinds of objects from the original inputted configuration files.
