Once you have completed setting the IP addresses/mask and services (protocols)/port ranges you want to control with firewall policies, you can then use the following commands to impose firewall policies on them.

CLI command	Description
config firewall policy	Enters firewall policy configuration mode.
edit <name>	Specify the name of the firewall configuration object.
set srcintf	Specify the ingress interface.
set dstintf	Specify the egress interface.
set srcaddr	Specify the source IP address, which can be either a single IP address or a range of IP addresses.
set action {allow | deny}	Select either of the following actions: allow—Allow access. deny—Deny access.
set status {enable | disable}	Set the status of the policy: enable—Enable the policy. disable—Disable the policy.
set nat {enable | disable}	Select an option for NAT: enable—Enable NAT. disable—Disable NAT.

Example firewall policy configurations:

end

The FortiExtender (Standalone) firewall is in White List mode, which blocks all traffic by default. You must create a policy to allow traffic into your network.
