To create an incoming traffic firewall policy, you use the same commands with the
addresses reversed.
Firewall policy configuration is the same in NAT/Route mode and transparent mode.
These policies allow all traffic through. No protection profiles have been applied. Ensure
you create additional firewall policies to accommodate your network requirements.
For details, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

When configuring transparent mode, you need to switch to transparent mode and
configure the management IP address, default routes, and simple firewall policies. You
