Zone Based Firewall
###################
.. note:: Starting from VyOS 1.4-rolling-202308040557, a new firewall
structure can be found on all vyos instalations. Zone based firewall was
removed in that version, but re introduced in VyOS 1.4 and 1.5. All
versions built after 2023-10-22 has this feature.
Documentation for most of the new firewall CLI can be
found in the `firewall
<https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/configuration/firewall/general.html>`_
chapter. The legacy firewall is still available for versions before
1.4-rolling-202308040557 and can be found in the
:doc:`legacy firewall configuration </configuration/firewall/general-legacy>`
chapter.
In zone-based policy, interfaces are assigned to zones, and inspection policy
is applied to traffic moving between the zones and acted on according to
firewall rules. A zone is a group of interfaces that have similar functions or
features. It establishes the security borders of a network. A zone defines a
boundary where traffic is subjected to policy restrictions as it crosses to
another region of a network.
Key Points:
* A zone must be configured before an interface is assigned to it and an
interface can be assigned to only a single zone.
* All traffic to and from an interface within a zone is permitted.
* All traffic between zones is affected by existing policies
* Traffic cannot flow between zone member interface and any interface that is
not a zone member.
* You need 2 separate firewalls to define traffic: one for each direction.
.. note:: In :vytask:`T2199` the syntax of the zone configuration was changed.
The zone configuration moved from ``zone-policy zone <name>`` to ``firewall
zone <name>``.
*************
Configuration
*************
As an alternative to applying policy to an interface directly, a zone-based
firewall can be created to simplify configuration when multiple interfaces
belong to the same security zone. Instead of applying rule-sets to interfaces,
they are applied to source zone-destination zone pairs.
A basic introduction to zone-based firewalls can be found `here
<https://support.vyos.io/en/kb/articles/a-primer-to-zone-based-firewall>`_,
and an example at :ref:`examples-zone-policy`.
Define a Zone
=============
To define a zone setup either one with interfaces or a local zone.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall zone <name> interface <interface>
Set interfaces to a zone. A zone can have multiple interfaces.
But an interface can only be a member in one zone.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall zone <name> local-zone
Define the zone as a local zone. A local zone has no interfaces and
will be applied to the router itself.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall zone <name> default-action [drop | reject]
Change the default-action with this setting.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall zone <name> description
Set a meaningful description.
Applying a Rule-Set to a Zone
=============================
Before you are able to apply a rule-set to a zone you have to create the zones
first.
It helps to think of the syntax as: (see below). The 'rule-set' should be
written from the perspective of: *Source Zone*-to->*Destination Zone*
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall zone <Destination Zone> from <Source Zone>
firewall name <rule-set>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall zone <name> from <name> firewall name
<rule-set>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall zone <name> from <name> firewall ipv6-name
<rule-set>
You apply a rule-set always to a zone from an other zone, it is recommended
to create one rule-set for each zone pair.
.. code-block:: none
set firewall zone DMZ from LAN firewall name LANv4-to-DMZv4
set firewall zone LAN from DMZ firewall name DMZv4-to-LANv4
