Viewing the firewall policy list
The firewall policy list displays firewall policies in their order of matching precedence for
each source and destination interface pair.
If virtual domains are enabled on the FortiGate unit, firewall policies are configured
separately for each virtual domain; you must access the VDOM before you can configure
its policies. To access a VDOM, go to System > VDOM, and in the row corresponding to
the VDOM whose policies you want to configure, select Enter.
You can add, delete, edit, and re-order policies in the policy list. Firewall policy order
affects policy matching. For details about arranging policies in a policy list, see “How list
order affects policy matching” on page 387 and “Moving a policy to a different position in
the policy list” on page 388.
To view the policy list, go to Firewall > Policy.
