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 197).

To add a zone

1Go to System > Network > Zone.

2Select New.

3Type 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.

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

5Select 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

1Go to System > Network > Zone.

2Select Delete to remove a zone from the list.

3Select OK to delete the zone.
