FGTENT-004 Policy and Address | FortiGate Firewall Configuration Step by Step

In this video, I focus on one of the most critical concepts in FortiGate Firewall — Firewall Policies.

Many beginners jump straight into NAT or advanced features without truly understanding why policies are needed and how traffic is actually allowed or denied in FortiGate. In this session, I break it down clearly and practically.

🔐 What you’ll learn in this video:

Why firewall policies are mandatory in FortiGate

How FortiGate processes traffic using policy-based control

Creating Address Objects properly

Building Address Groups for cleaner and scalable policies

Best practices for organizing policies in real enterprise networks

This video is part of my FortiGate from scratch lab series, where I build everything step by step using a realistic enterprise design, not just isolated commands.

🧪 Lab Environment:

FortiGate Firewall (EVE-NG)

Enterprise-style network design

Real-world policy logic used in production networks
