Revision 1.14.3 128 RX1000/RX1100™
14.6.1. Network Zones
Figure 14.3. Firewall Network Zones
This menu allows you to add, delete and configure zones. Add a new zone by selecting the “Add a
new network zone” link or by clicking on the add-above or add-below images in the Add field.
The Zone Type field controls the type of traffic carried in the zone. The Firewall system zone type is
built in to the fw zone. A zone type of IPSEC is used with policy based VPNs. A zone type of IPV4
is used with normal traffic and route based VPNs.
Reorder the zones by clicking on the arrows under the Move field.
Note
If you define a VPN zone whose traffic is received via a network zone, it is essential that the VPN
zone be declared before the network zone.
Clicking on a link under the Zone ID field will allow you to edit or delete the zone. Note that if you
delete a zone you should remove any rules that reference it.
Note
There must be exactly one zone of type firewall. Do not delete this zone.
You may also make changes by manually editing the zone file.
