Profile Groups

Profile groups are used to group security profiles of different types together, and can be used in policies instead of individual profiles.

To create a profile group in the GUI:
  1. Go to Security Profiles > Profile Groups and click Create New.

  2. Enter a name for the group.

  3. Select the Protocol Options from the drop-down list.

  4. Enable the required profile types and select a profile for each.

  5. Click OK.

To create a profile group in the CLI:
config firewall profile-group
    edit <name>
        set profile-protocol-options <options>
        set ssl-ssh-profile {certificate-inspection | custom-deep-inspection | deep-inspection | no-inspection}
        set av-profile <profile>
        set ia-profile <profile>
        set webfilter-profile <profile>
        set dnsfilter-profile <profile>
        set emailfilter-profile <profile>
        set dlp-sensor <sensor>
        set file-filter-profile <profile>
        set ips-sensor <sensor>
        set application-list <list>
        set icap-profile <profile>
        set cifs-profile <profile>
        set videofilter-profile <profile>
        set ssh-filter-profile <profile>
    next
end
To use a profile group in a policy:
config firewall policy
    edit <policy>
        set profile-type group
        set profile-group <group>
    next
