Adding firewall policies for modem connections

The modem interface requires firewall addresses and policies. You can add one or more addresses to the modem interface. For information about adding addresses, see the FortiGate Administration Guide. When you add addresses, the modem interface appears on the policy grid.

You can configure firewall policies to control the flow of packets between the modem interface and the other interfaces on the FortiGate unit. For information about adding firewall policies, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.
