FortiClient Manager : Configuring FortiClient agent settings : Configuring firewall protocol groups on a FortiClient agent
 
Configuring firewall protocol groups on a FortiClient agent
You can create groups of firewall protocols for use in firewall policies.
Create New
Select to create a firewall protocol group.
Override
The FortiClient agent’s configuration includes those inherited from the group to which the computer belongs.
Selecting override allows you to modify the inherited firewall protocol group configuration on this FortiClient agent. Deselecting override means that you want to use the firewall protocol group configuration inherited from the group to which the computer belongs.
Even with inherited firewall protocol group configurations, you can still create new firewall protocol groups for a FortiClient agent.
See “Adding a FortiClient agent group” and “Configuring settings for client groups”.
