For the initial installation, a single firewall policy that enables all traffic through will

enable you to verify your configuration is working. On lower-end units such a

default firewall policy is already in place. For the higher end FortiGate units, you

will need to add a firewall policy.

The following steps add two policies that allows all traffic through the FortiGate

unit, to enable you to continue testing the configuration on the network.

To add an outgoing traffic firewall policy

1 Go to Firewall > Policy.

2 Select Create New.

3 Set the following and select OK.

To add an incoming traffic firewall policy

Firewall policy configuration is the same in NAT/Route mode and Transparent

mode.

Note that these policies allow all traffic through. No protection profiles have been

applied. Ensure you create additional firewall policies to accommodate your

network requirements.
