Which object is NOT typically used in FortiGate policy creation?

In FortiGate policy creation, a wide range of objects is utilized to define how traffic is managed within the network. IP addresses are commonly used to specify the source and destination of traffic, allowing administrators to create granular policies based on specific devices or networks. Schedule objects facilitate the timing of when policies are applied, such as allowing or denying traffic only during certain hours, thus enhancing control over when resources are accessible. Service definitions are important for specifying which types of traffic are being handled, such as HTTP, FTP, or any custom service, making them crucial for detailed policy configuration.

In contrast, device type is not typically used as a parameter in the direct creation of firewall policies. While FortiGate devices may recognize device types for purposes such as logging or device identification features, this classification does not directly translate into shaping traffic policies with the same level of specificity and control as the other mentioned objects. Therefore, device type does not play a direct role in the creation of network security policies within FortiGate environments.
