Configuring interfaces Network configuration

Adding zones

The new zone does not appear in the policy grid until you add an interface to it, see

“To add an interface to a zone” below, and add a firewall address for it (see “Adding

addresses” on page 202).

To add a zone

1 Go to System > Network > Zone.

2 Select New.

3 Type a name for the zone.

The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and

the special characters - and _. Other special characters and spaces are not allowed.

4 Select the Block intra-zone traffic check box if you want to block traffic between

interfaces in the same zone.

5 Select OK.

Deleting zones

You must remove all interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces from a zone before you can

delete the zone. You can only delete zones that have the Delete icon beside them

in the zone list.

To delete a zone

1 Go to System > Network > Zone.

2 Select Delete to remove a zone from the list.

3 Select OK to delete the zone.
