zone
Overview
Use this command to create a zone entity or configure an existing zone.
Zone is a high level abstraction for a logical grouping or segmentation of physical
networks. This is the highest level of partitioning that firewall policy can be applied
to. Zone establishes the security border of your networks. A zone defines a
boundary where traffic is subjected to policy restrictions as it crosses to another
region of your networks. The minimum zones normally implemented would be a
trusted zone for the private network behind the firewall and a untrusted zone for
the Internet. Other common zones are a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) for publicly
visible web servers and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) zone for remote access
users or tunnels to other networks.
Use the
no
variant of this command to destroy a zone entity.
