Description
Let’s consider FortiGate policy is configured to allow the traffic from one interface to another.
Incoming traffic is matching all the condition of the policy.





In the logs, action is showing as 'Deny: policy violation' and Communication from source to destination is getting failed.





This article describes how fix this status.

Solution
One of the reason for this log is source IP is added as 'BAN IP' or quarantined in FortiGate and hence source IP needs to be white listed to allow the traffic.

Go to Monitor -> Quarantine Monitor, select source IP and delete the entry.
