[serge_FTNT]

Description	This article describes the values of FortiGate system resources.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	View the 'default Maximum' in GUI-Global resources under global scope, and confirm the value with the console output of the CLI command 'get system resource-limits'. This value '42048' below the column 'default Maximum' is the total sum for Firewall Addresses, which contain the following: IP address (IPv4), IP address6 (IPv6)  IP multicast-address, IP multicast-address6 The 'Override Maximum' column in the GUI's Global resources section offers an option to lower the maximum value. For other values: Firewall Policies: include policy+ policy6 + policy46 + policy64 + dos-policy + dos-policy6 + multicast-policy Firewall Address Group: include addrgrp + addrgrp6 Session: include session + session6. Example in the following screenshot: IP address (IPv4) (25 used), IP address6 (IPv6) (1 used), while the 'Override Maximum' value is decreased to '15.000'. The FortiGate resource maximum values can also be checked from Maximum Values Table
