Sonic OS 2.x Quick Start Guide 

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.
