How to enable Port Forwarding Fortigate 60D 5.2.8/727 GA

Is there current documentation on how to do this?  I am new to the Fortigate and all the cookbook instructions and videos are for the older firmware, so the menus are different.  I found a port forwarding area within the virtual IPs, (there is no "Firewall Objects", this is separate in the GUI) and set that up, but it does not appear to work.  I cannot find the VIP policy setup in the GUI, etc.  It appears some of this has been streamlined.  Suggestions?  Thank you!

I'm not very experienced here, but port forwarding wasn't too hard to configure on my 60D with the 5.4 Firmware using the new GUI (on 5.2.8 you actually have the old GUI).

 

After you created your Virtual IP you need to create a policy that accepts traffic to that virtual IP.

You can create one under "Policy & Objects > Policy > IPv4". As the "Destination Address" select the Virtual IP you created.

 

Hope this helps.

to add: the policy is from 'wan' to 'internal', source addr is 'ALL', dest addr is the VIP, service matches port.

 

Note: you cannot test a port forwarding VIP with 'ping'! ping/ICMP is neither UDP nor TCP and doesn't use ports.
