Creating an address
Before applying firewall policies to the FortiGate-VM, you must create addresses to apply as sources or destinations in the policies. This example creates an address based on the dynamic address objects that have been populated from NSX-T's Inventory through the NSX-T Connector.
To create an address:
- In FortiManager, go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations > Firewall Objects > Addresses. Click Create New > Address
- Configure the address as follows:
Address Name
Enter a unique name.
Type
Select Dynamic.
Sub Type
Select FSSO.
FSSO Group
Select the desired dynamic objects from the Select Entries dialog. This assumes that you already have inventory groups on NSX-T. Click OK.
Per-Device Mapping
Optionally, you can add particular FortiGate-VM devices.
- Click OK. FortiManager creates the address.
