for traffic originating from the router itself, or destined for the router itself, such
as a zone pair configured for SNMP traffic. The Policy list contains the name of
each policy map configured on the router.
If you are editing a zone pair, you can change the policy m ap, but you cannot
change the name or the source or destination zone s.
Add a Zone
You can configure an interface as a member of a security zone from the
Association tab of the Edit Interfaces and Connections dialog. The zo ne that you
add will include the interface that you are editing as a zone member.
Note Traffic flowing to or from this interface is governed by the policy map
associated with the zone.
An interface that you associate with this zone may be used for a site-to-site
VPN, DMVPN, Easy VPN, SSL VPN or other type of connection whose
traffic might be blocked by a firewall. When you associate an interface with
a zone in this dialog, SDM does not create any passthrough ACL to permit
such traffic. You can configure the necessary passthrough for the policy map
two ways.
Go to Configure > Firewall and ACL > Edit Firewall Policy > Rule for
New Traff ic. In the displayed dialog, provide the s ource and destination
IP address information, and the type of traffic that must be allowed to
pass through the firewall. In the Action field, select Permit ACL.
Go to Configure > C3PL > Policy Map > Protocol Inspection. Provide
a protocol inspection policy map that will allow the necessary traffic to
pass through the firewall.
