Hyperscale policies

Hyperscale policies

In FortiManager, you can create hyperscale policies by configuring the policy package's policy offload level to Full Offload and enabling the policy types in the Display Options. For more information on hyperscale firewalls, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

Some hyperscale policy types must be enabled before they can be used. On the Policy & Objects pane, from the Tools menu, select Display Options, and then select the hyperscale policy checkboxes to display these options.

Note

Hyperscale policies are available in 6.2 and 6.4 ADOMs:

  • 6.4 ADOMs support hyperscale policies, NAT46 hyperscale policies, and NAT 64 hyperscale policies.
  • 6.2 ADOMs support IPv4 hyperscale policies, NAT46 hyperscale policies, NAT 64 hyperscale policies, and IPv6 hyperscale policies.
To use hyperscale policies in a policy package:
  1. Go to Policy & Objects in supported a ADOM version on FortiManager.
  2. Create a new policy package, or right click an existing policy package from the tree menu, and select Edit.
  3. Under the Policy Offload Level option, select Full Offload, and click OK.
    Hyperscale policy types enabled in Display Options are now available in the policy package.
