FortiGate 200B v5.0 GA Patch 2 Previous version you could right click a policy and select move above or below and you could enter a existing policy to move it where you wanted. Any idea on how to this now in version 5 Patch 2??? Trying to get a new policy in place for our new phone system so any help with this would greatly appreciated.

    You can re-order the policies by dragging and dropping on the sequence number column. Alternatively, there is cut/copy/paste support, also available by right-clicking on the sequence #.

    You can also do it via the cli under config firewall policy and the move option

    Could you elaborate - how you actually do it via the CLI, please? ...I mean for FortiOS v.5.2.X.

      All of the sudden, for whatever reason, the policy page won't let me drag/drop to change the policy sequence.  I can pick it up and drag it, but trying to drop it just kicks it back to where it was.

       

      I can't even use the "config firewall policy" move command-- it gives me "Command fail.  Return code 1."  Anybody ever run into this?

       

      I've got a 100D with the v5.2.3.  Not sure what happened.

      From the upgrade path, it seems the lowest is 5.2.9 for that Hardware.  Will you be able to schedule a downtime to upgrade it?  Is it a very sensitive device that will have a major impact on your business if you decide to upgrade it?
