Traffic Destined to the FortiGate unit
IPS enabled in firewall policies can only inspect the traffic pass through FortiGate unit, not the traffic destined to FortiGate unit. Enabling IPS in interface-policy allows IPS to pick up any packet on the interface so it is able to inspect attacks targeting FGT.

About Mike
Michael Pruett, CISSP has a wide range of cyber-security and network engineering expertise. The plethora of vendors that resell hardware but have zero engineering knowledge resulting in the wrong hardware or configuration being deployed is a major pet peeve of Michael's. This site was started in an effort to spread information while providing the option of quality consulting services at a much lower price than Fortinet Professional Services.
