Zones And Interfaces Overview; Creating A New Security Zone And Adding An Interface To The New Zone - Dell PowerConnect J-SRX100SU Getting Started Manual

3 .1 Zones and Interfaces Overview

Zones split a network infrastructure into logical areas, each with
its own set of usage rules, security services, and policies. Most
networks include multiple definitions of zones, including those
for trusted, untrusted, public, encrypted, and wireless traffic. The
Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-SRX100S/SU Services Gateway
comes preconfigured with basic zones, such as:
• Untrust zone—Zone through which you connect to the
Internet.
• Trust zone—Zone that contains all the trusted local network
resources.
The security features and settings that zones carry are enforced
by binding one or more physical interfaces (fe-0/0/1 through
fe-0/0/7) on services gateway to a zone.

Interface to the New Zone

1 . Click the Configure tab at the top of the page, navigate to
Security > Zones/Screens, and then click Add.
2 . Enter the Zone name as DMZ and select the zone type as
security.

Available list to the Selected list.
