SonicOS Enhanced 4.0 Administrator Guide
  •
Trusted: Trusted is a security type that provides the highest level of trust—meaning that 
the least amount of scrutiny is applied to traffic coming from trusted zones. Trusted security 
can be thought of as being on the LAN (protected) side of the security appliance. The LAN 
zone is always Trusted.
  •
Encrypted: Encrypted is a security type used exclusively by the VPN Zone. All traffic to and 
from an Encrypted zone is encrypted.
  •
Wireless: Wireless is a security type applied to the WLAN zone or any zone where the only 
interface to the network consists of SonicWALL SonicPoint devices. You typically use 
WiFiSec to secure traffic in a Wireless zone. The Wireless security type is designed 
specifically for use with SonicPoint devices. Placing an interface in a Wireless Zone 
activates SDP (SonicWALL Discovery Protocol) and SSPP (SonicWALL Simple 
Provisioning Protocol) on that interface for automatic discovery and provisioning of 
SonicPoint devices. Only traffic that passes through a SonicPoint is allowed through a 
Wireless zone; all other traffic is dropped. 
  •
Public: A Public security type offers a higher level of trust than an Untrusted zone, but a 
lower level of trust than a Trusted zone. Public zones can be thought of as being a secure 
area between the LAN (protected) side of the security appliance and the WAN 
(unprotected) side. The DMZ, for example, is a Public zone because traffic flows from it to 
both the LAN and the WAN. By default traffic from DMZ to LAN is denied. But traffic from 
LAN to ANY is allowed. This means only LAN initiated connections will have traffic between 
DMZ and LAN. The DMZ will only have default access to the WAN, not the LAN. 
  •
Untrusted: The Untrusted security type represents the lowest level of trust. It is used by 
both the WAN and the virtual Multicast zone. An Untrusted zone can be thought of as being 
on the WAN (unprotected) side of the security appliance.By default, traffic from Untrusted 
zones is not permitted to enter any other zone type without explicit rules, but traffic from 
every other zone type is permitted to Untrusted zones.
Allow Interface Trust
The Allow Interface Trust setting in the Add Zone window automates the creation of Access 
Rules to allow traffic to flow between the interface of a zone instance. For example, if the LAN 
Zone has both the LAN and OPT interfaces assigned to it, checking Allow Interface Trust on 
the LAN Zone creates the necessary Access Rules to allow hosts on these interfaces to 
communicate with each other.
Enabling SonicWALL Security Services on Zones
You can enable SonicWALL Security Services for traffic across zones. For example, you can 
enable SonicWALL Intrusion Prevention Service for incoming and outgoing traffic on the WLAN 
zone to add more security for internal network traffic. You can enable the following SonicWALL 
Security Services on zones:
  •
Enforce Content Filtering Service - Enforces content filtering on multiple interfaces in the 
same Trusted, Public and WLAN zones. 
  •
Enforce Client Anti-Virus Service - Enforces anti-virus protection on multiple interfaces 
in the same Trusted, Public or WLAN zones.
  •
Enable Gateway Anti-Virus - Enforces gateway anti-virus protection on multiple interfaces 
in the same Trusted, Public or WLAN zones.
  •
Enable IPS - Enforces intrusion detection and prevention on multiple interfaces in the same 
Trusted, Public or WLAN zones.
