Chapter 5 Configuration Basics

Zones cannot overlap. Each 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.

When you create a zone, the ZyWALL does not create any firewall rules, assign an IDP profile, or configure remote management for the new zone.

MENU ITEM(S)

Network > Zone

PREREQUISITES

Interfaces, IPSec VPN, SSL VPN

WHERE USED

Firewall, IDP, remote management, anti-virus, ADP, application patrol

 

 

Example: For example, to create the DMZ-2 zone and add ge5 as in the network topology example, click Network > Zone and then the Add icon.

5.4.8 Device HA

Use device HA to create redundant backup gateways. The ZyWALL runs VRRP v2. You can only set up device HA with other ZyWALLs of the same model running the same firmware version.

MENU ITEM(S)

Device HA

PREREQUISITES

Interfaces (with a static IP address), to-ZyWALL firewall

 

 

Example: See Chapter 6 on page 125.

5.4.9 DDNS

Dynamic DNS maps a domain name to a dynamic IP address. The ZyWALL helps maintain this mapping.

MENU ITEM(S)

Network > DDNS

PREREQUISITES

Interfaces

 

 

5.4.10 Policy Routes

Use policy routes to control the routing of packets through the ZyWALL’s interfaces, trunks, and VPN connections. You also use policy routes for bandwidth management (out of the ZyWALL), port triggering, and general NAT on the source address. You have to set up the criteria, next-hops, and NAT settings in other screens first.

MENU ITEM(S)

Network > Routing > Policy Route

 

Criteria: users, user groups, interfaces (incoming), IPSec VPN (incoming),

 

addresses (source, destination), address groups (source, destination),

PREREQUISITES

schedules, services, service groups

Next-hop: addresses (HOST gateway), IPSec VPN, SSL VPN, trunks, interfaces

 

 

NAT: addresses (translated address), services and service groups (port

 

triggering)

 

 

Example: You have an FTP server connected to ge 4 (in the DMZ zone). You want to limit the amount of FTP traffic that goes out from the FTP server through your WAN connection.

1Create an address object for the FTP server (Object > Address).
