Installing policy packages

Each policy package is intended to reflect the complete security policies for one or more managed FortiGates.

The following guidelines are intended to reduce the likelihood of administrative errors when installing configuration changes to FortiGates:

  • Each managed device should only have one policy package associated with it. This will help to ensure that the wrong policy package is not mistakenly installed to a FortiGate.
  • When installing a policy package, be sure to review the Install Preview before completing the installation. This is particularly important during the initial installation of a policy package to a FortiGate.

Consolidated policy package installation

Manually select specific installation targets by selecting Install On and perform the installation with the following guidelines:

  • For a mix of SD-WAN and non SD-WAN devices, Install On must only reference devices with a SD-WAN interface.
  • For a mix of FortiWiFi and FortiGate devices, Install On must only reference devices with a WiFi interface.
