Configure the firewall zone for a network interface

Firewall zones allow you to group network interfaces for the purpose of packet filtering and access control. There are several preconfigured firewall zones, and you can create custom zones as well. The firewall zone that a network interfaces uses is selected during interface configuration.

This example procedure uses an existing network interface named ETH2 and changes the firewall zone from the default zone, Internal, to External.
