Factory default firewall configuration

FortiGate firewall policies control how all traffic is processed by the FortiGate unit. Until firewall policies are added, no traffic can be accepted by or pass through the FortiGate unit. To allow traffic through the FortiGate unit you can add firewall policies. See the FortiGate Administration Guide for information about adding firewall policies.

The following firewall configuration settings are included in the default firewall configuration to make it easier to add firewall policies.
