Technical Tip: Interface Per View is not supported for Virtual Wire Pair (VWP) policies

Description This article explains why the 'Interface Per View' option is not available on the Virtual Wire Pair Policy page in FortiGate. This behavior is part of the current design.
Scope FortiGate v7.6.0 and above.
Solution

On the Virtual Wire Pair Policy page, a dedicated ‘Virtual Wire Pair’ column is present to define the pair associated with each policy. As a result, the ‘Interface Per View’ option is not supported for Virtual Wire Pair policies. The interface context is already determined by the virtual wire pair selected within the policy.

 

To access the Virtual Wire Pair Policy page, go to Policy & Objects -> Virtual Wire Pair Policy.

The absence of the ‘Interface Per View’ toggle in this section is expected and consistent with the intended behavior of the Virtual Wire Pair configuration.

In version 7.4 and below, the 'Interface Pair View' for virtual-wire-pair looks like this:
