Technical Tip: How to disable FortiGate Firewall Policy

• Go to Policy & Objects > IPv4 Policy (or IPv6 if applicable).
  
• Find the policy that needs to be disabled.
• Toggle the 'Status' switch off (gray).
• Select Disable.
  

Run the following commands to disable via CLI:

config firewall policy
    edit <policy_id>
        set status disable
    next
end

Use the below command to check the <policy_id> via CLI:

show firewall policy <policy_id>

Note:

A disabled policy is skipped during traffic processing. Disabling wrong policy can impact network traffic. Be careful while selecting policy ID to disable.
