15.1 Zones Overview

Set up zones to configure network security and network policies in the ZyWALL. A zone is a group of interfaces and/or VPN tunnels. The ZyWALL uses zones instead of interfaces in many security and policy settings, such as firewall rules, Anti-X, and remote management.

Zones cannot overlap. Each Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, bridge interface, PPPoE/PPTP interface and VPN tunnel can be assigned to at most one zone. Virtual interfaces are automatically assigned to the same zone as the interface on which they run.
