Virtual Wire Pair

Adding a virtual wire pair firewall policy

You can add IPv4 and IPv6 virtual wire pair firewall policies. To add an IPv4 virtual wire pair firewall policy go to Policy & Objects > IPv4 Virtual Wire Pair Policy. Select the virtual wire pair that you want to add a policy for and select Create New. Start by configuring the direction of traffic though the policy and configure other policy settings like any firewall policy.

    Using a FG 30e with 6.0
    After creating the pair- how can a policy be created on them?
    The 6.0 does not have a option in Policy and Objects for IPv4 Virtual Wire Pair Policy as I have found during searches.
    Thank You
