Working with Security Zone Objects
A security zone object is a logical object that represents the network behind a specified
interface. For example, an InternalZone object represents the internal network IP addresses
behind all of the internal gateway interfaces.
You can use security zone objects to create a generic Security Policy and reduce the amount
of rules necessary in the Rule Base. This Security Policy can be applied to numerous Check
Point gateways. Resolution of the Security Zone is done by the actual association on the
Check Point appliance gateway object in SmartConsole.
Workflow
1. Associate a Security Zone object with an interface in the gateway object.
2. Use the Security Zone object in a rule.
3. Install policy.
To associate a Security Zone object with an interface in the gateway object:
1. From the left navigation panel, click Gateways & Servers.
2. Double-click a Check Point appliance gateway object.
3. From Topology, select the applicable interface and click Edit.
4. In the Security Zone field, select one of the predefined Security Zones.
5. Optional - If you want to create a new Security Zone, click New, enter the details, and
click OK.
6. Click OK to close the Interface Properties window.
7. Click OK to close the object window.
