Configuring zones

A zone is a collection of network addresses that create one logical group of IP addresses, useful when reusing the same set of addresses in multiple rules. Each address in a given group is assigned similar rules defined centrally for the whole group. One example of such a group is a Trusted zone. A Trusted zone represents a group of network addresses that are not blocked by the Firewall in any way.

To add a trusted zone:

1. Open Advanced setup (F5) > Network protection > Basic > Zones.
2. Click Edit next to Zones.
3. Click Add, type in a Name and Description for the zone, and type a remote IP address in Remote computer address (IPv4/IPv6, range, mask).
4. Click OK.
