Security Features

This section includes the following:

■Zones

■Policy

■IPS

■VPN

■Content Security

■Static NAT

Zones

Zones establish the security borders of your network. A zone defines a boundary where traffic is subjected to policy restrictions as it crosses to another region of your network. ZFW’s default policy between zones is deny all. If no policy is explicitly configured, all traffic moving between zones is blocked.

■Click Security > Zones. The left side list shows the list of available interfaces which can be moved to appropriate security zones. The supported zones are WAN, LAN, VPN, and DMZ.

■If any interface needs to be moved to any security zone, it can be just dragged and dropped into the zone. WAN and VPN zones are grayed out here and moving the WAN interface under WAN zone can be done in interface screen. Also when VPN is configured, the respective Tunnel interface will be moved to VPN zone internally.

Figure 73 The Zones Page

Policy

With the Zones and Policy pages configured, users can enable Zone based Firewall on the device. Policy page applies user-defined rules or policy on the traffic that flows between source and destination zones. The source and destination zones are tied together to make a zone pair under which the policy is applied. Prior to creating and applying policy, user needs to configure and assign the interfaces under the right zones.

Policy feature provides more granularity in identifying and filtering the traffic. Within the traffic between source zone and destination zone, the user can filter the traffic further based on the source and destination network, application type, the source and destination ports, domains, and the user groups.

Policy Summary

To view the policy summary, perform these steps:

1. Click Security >Policy to display the summary screen of Policy. The summary screen lists all existing policies and option to add, edit and delete an existing policy

–The Policy display in the summary screen is based on the zone pairs. For e.g in the picture below there are two groups of policies and the groups based on zone pairs viz. LAN-WAN and LAN-VPN

–The order of policies can be changed by just dragging and dropping the policies within the zone pair section table. The changes can be reverted by clicking the arrow icon placed on top of the zone pair section
