Sonic OS 2.x Quick Start Guide
Creating a Custom Zone
There are four fixed Zone types: Trusted, Untrusted, Public and Encrypted. Only the number of
interfaces limits the number of Zone instances for Trusted and Public Zone types. The Untrusted
Zone type (i.e. the WAN) is reserved for the WAN interface(s). The Encrypted Zone type is a
special system Zone comprising all VPN traffic and doesn’t have any associated interface.
To create a custom zone, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Zones option under the Network
button of the GUI.
2. Click the Add button and the Add Zone
pop-up is displayed.
3. Name your Zone as desired.
4. Select whether the Zone is Trusted or
Public.
5. If Content Filtering is desired, select the
checkbox.
6. If AV enforcement is desired, select the
checkbox.
7. If multiple interfaces are assigned to this
zone, selecting the Allow Interface Trust
option automatically adds the required access rules to allow hosts on those interfaces to
communicate with one another.
8. Click OK to save your settings. The new custom Zone is displayed in the Zones window.
