Create a new local-in policy

The section describes how to create new IPv4 and IPv6 local-in policies to control inbound traffic that is going to a FortiGate interface.

To create a new Local-In policy:
  1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Policy & Objects > Policy Packages.
  3. In the tree menu for the policy package in which you will be creating the new policy, select IPv4 Local In Policy or IPv6 Local In Policy.
  4. Click Create New.
