Fortinet FortiGate-800 manual Destination, Schedule, Service, Action, 191

Firewall configuration Adding firewall policies

Destination

Select an address or address group that matches the destination address of the packet. Before you can add this address to a policy, you must add it to the destination interface, VLAN subinterface, or zone. For information about adding an address, see “Addresses” on page 197.

For NAT/Route mode policies where the address on the destination network is hidden from the source network using NAT, the destination can also be a virtual IP that maps the destination address of the packet to a hidden destination address. See “Virtual IPs” on page 208.

Schedule

Select a schedule that controls when the policy is available to be matched with connections. See “Schedules” on page 205.

Service

Select a service that matches the service (port number) of the packet. You can select from a wide range of predefined services or add custom services and service groups. See “Services” on page 200.

Action

Select how you want the firewall to respond when the policy matches a connection attempt.

ACCEPT	Accept the connection. If you select ACCEPT, you can also configure NAT
	and Authentication for the policy.
DENY	Deny the connection. The only other policy option that you can configure is
	Log Traffic, to log the connections denied by this policy.
ENCRYPT	Make this policy an IPSec VPN policy. If you select ENCRYPT, you can
	select an AutoIKE Key or Manual Key VPN tunnel for the policy and
	configure other IPSec settings. You cannot add authentication to an
	ENCRYPT policy. ENCRYPT is not available in Transparent mode. See
	“Configuring encrypt policies” on page 245.
