Configuring zones
Grouping interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces into zones simplifies policy creation. You can
configure policies for connections to and from a zone, but not between interfaces in a
zone.
You can add zones, rename and edit zones, and delete zones from the zone list. When
you add a zone, you select the names of the interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces to add to
the zone.
Zones are configured from virtual domains. If you have added multiple virtual domains to
your FortiGate configuration, make sure you are configuring the correct virtual domain
before adding or editing zones.
