Some times we get this message when we are working with policies in FortiGate firewall. The reason for this message is, you used “Any” on source or destination interfaces or used multiple source/destination interfaces. Most of the times this happens accidentally, and let see how to locate the related policy for the issue.

If you are working with few policies it is easy to find the problematic policy, but in a case of hundreds of policies it is very hard to locate the problematic policy.

For identify that policy first take a backup of the unit and open it with a text editor.  Search config firewall policy and copy and paste the all the policy list to a another editor.

First search srcintf="any" and dstintf="any" and locate the policy ID.

Then search for " " (skip when found in addresses) and locate the policy ID.

Go to policy list and add ID to the column view.

Now filter the ID and edit your policy.

Now check the Section view settings.
