Hi @rezafathi, 

 

The firewall policy is not supposed to be disabled. When out of the schedule, traffic will not match that policy. Have you tested the actual traffic? Also make sure the FortiGate is running on the right time zone.

Hello @rezafathi, It looks like you're trying to create a schedule for a firewall policy that should disable after 6:00 PM, but it's not working as expected.

> Could you please confirm if you have any other policies with same source and destination.

> Try to access internet after 6PM and check the forward logs to see if it is taking any other policy to go out.

> Verify that the device's time settings are accurate and aligned with the local time. If the device's time is incorrect, the schedule may not activate or deactivate at the intended times.

let us know if you have any queries.

 

Thanks,

Pavan

what do you mean if you say "disable"?

 

In fact in policy view a policy will not be disabled once out of schedule. However it will not match any traffic if it doesn't have a valid schedule.

you mean when the time is over the policy won't disable and it just won't pass the traffic?
