Configuring a firewall policy

Configuring a firewall policy

When devices are behind FortiGate, you must configure a firewall policy on FortiGate to grant the devices access to the internet. In other words, a firewall policy must be in place for any traffic that passes through a FortiGate.

To create a firewall policy in the GUI:

  1. Go to Policy & Objects > Firewall Policy.

  2. Click Create New. The New Policy pane is displayed.

  3. Enter a Name and configure the following necessary settings:

    Incoming Interface LAN (port1)
    Outgoing Interface WAN (port2)
    Source Source IPv4 address name and address group names
    Destination Destination IPv4 address name and address group names
    Schedule Always
    Service All
    Action Accept
  4. Click Save.
