Importing device policies and mapping interfaces

When you import the policy from a FortiGate device, you can import all policies and objects or select policies and objects. All enabled FortiGate device interfaces are imported and mapped to a normalized interface, and you can choose whether to import and map unused interfaces.

To import FortiGate device policies:

1. Go to Device Manager > Device & Groups.
2. Click a device group. The devices in the group display in the content pane.
3. In the content pane, right-click a device, and select Import Policy to launch the Import Policy wizard.

   For device interfaces, select Per-Device mapping type. Device interfaces are imported and mapped to normalized interfaces.

4. Complete the wizard.

After initially importing policies from the device, make all the changes related to policies and objects in the Policy & Objects module. Making changes directly on the FortiGate device will require reimporting policies to resynchronize the policies and objects.

To view mapped interfaces:

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations.
2. In the tree menu, go to Normalized Interface > Normalized Interface. The mapped interfaces display in the content pane.
