CHAPTER 20
Zones
Set up zones to configure network security and network policies in the Zyxel Device.
20.1 Zones Overview
A zone is a group of interfaces and VPN tunnels. The Zyxel Device uses zones, not interfaces, in many
security and policy settings, such as firewall rules and remote management.
Zones cannot overlap. Each Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, bridge interface, PPPoE/PPTP 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.
