Plan the Zones
Zones are logical groupings of VLANs that have the same trust levels or
security needs. You can create common firewall policies that apply to all
members of a zone or to selected members of a zone.
After you associate a VLAN with a zone, it is called a “TMS VLAN.” TMS VLANs
can be associated with only one zone at a time. You can create up to 19 VLAN
associations.
To associate a VLAN with a zone, that VLAN must exist on the module’s host
switch. When you associate a VLAN with a zone, you can also assign an IP
address on that VLAN to a virtual interface on the TMS zl Module.
Figure 2-3 shows some example zones as they might be configured on the
TMS zl Module.
