CONFIGURE > FIREWALL > Interzone Policies > Create Interzone Policy
In the Operations Manager, Interzone firewall policy is implemented through Fire-
walld; this is a zone-based firewall which allows you to define zones and create
rules to manage the traffic between the zones.
The firewalld feature provides a dynamically managed firewall with support for net-
work/firewall "zones" to assign a level of trust to a network and its associated con-
nections, interfaces or sources.
The feature allows you to define policies to configure forwarding between zones
and can be configured to allow directional forwarding from one or more ingress
zones to one or more egress zones.
Rules and filtering may be applied at the zone level. When you add a zone, you
select which services are part of that zone. Interzone policy allows these rules and
filtering to be applied so as to control the type of traffic allowed to be forwarded.
The default policy, ie. when no zones are added, is that no traffic is forwarded.
