13.1 Zones Overview

Set up zones to configure network security and network policies in the UAG. A zone is a group of
interfaces. The UAG uses zones instead of interfaces in many security and policy settings, such as
firewall rules and remote management.
Zones cannot overlap. Each Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, bridge interface, and PPPoE/PPTP
interface can be assigned to at most one zone. Virtual interfaces are automatically assigned to the
same zone as the interface on which they run.
