Network Zones
Network resources can be organized into network zones. These zones or logical groups are
collections of nodes and network segments. A zone is an easy way to define the resources
for a group and naming that entity. For example, you can define a network zone for the
servers for the Finance organization or for the resources that you want to allocate to
unauthenticated users. Zone filtering has two major benefits for the device administrator.
It simplifies administration by eliminating the entry of separate numbers for each device
or network segment. If a new resource is added within an existing network zone, it is
available to any user that already has access to that zone.
To define a network zone:
1 Select Network Zones from the navigation tree (Figure 61) and click New
in the Action Bar.
The New NetworkZone dialog box displays ( Figure 66 ).

2 Specify a name for the network zone in the Name field.
3 Click New to add a new element for the network zone. The New
NetworkZoneElement dialog box displays (Figure 67).
