Enabling Fortigate Zone interface policy

Hello everyone,

I have a Fortigate 60F device running Fortios 7.6.4. I want to create a ZONE, but because I have rules on my existing VLANs,
I cannot include them in the ZONE interface member section. Deleting these rules would take a long time. Despite this, can I include my interfaces in the zone?


Thank you for your help.

Not without deleting them. Look at using a CLI script or the CLI for this.

Or export/import of the configuration by manually changing the text in the config.

Hi, if the interfaces already have references, it is not possible.  it will be necessary to remove the interface from the respective references before being able to add the interface into the interface zone.
