Zone

You can use zones to group related interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces. Grouping interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces into zones simplifies policy creation. If you group interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces into a zone, you can configure policies for connections to and from this zone, rather than to and from each interface and VLAN subinterface.

You can add zones, rename and edit zones, and delete zones from the zone list. When you add a zone, you select the names of the interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces to add to the zone.

Zones are added to virtual domains. If you have added multiple virtual domains to your FortiGate configuration, make sure you are configuring the correct virtual domain before adding or editing zones.
