FortiManager Local-In Policy

Local-In policies for FortiManager limits the IPs or IP ranges that can access the FortiManager. However, Local-In policies for FortiManager are rather rudimentary compared to Local-In policies for other device types like FortiGate. Local-In only affects inbound connections. It is therefore recommended to use other means to limit access to FortiManager.

By default, all connections are accepted by FortiManager if there are no Local-In policies. The Local-In policies below are for FortiManager (7.4.6) and can only be configured through FortiManager CLI. The policies do two things.

• Whitelist a range of IPs and ports they are allowed on.
• The last two policies set the ports that are allowed which automatically sets all other options to ‘default’. If an option is set to default, it is dropped.
