Polices are based on the business requirement, most of DC required http / https other commpn ports for the external people to connect in.

OUTSIDE and INSIDE should have same network like a switch, and use traffic inspect policy, like inspect icmp, ftp, http etc.

 

You can find it at Configuration -> Firewall -> Inspect policy -> global policy. You don't need acl's because the security level will deal with the traffic flow, also you can use arp filtering.
