Understanding Functional Zones

A functional zone is used for special purposes, like management interfaces. Currently, only the management (MGT) zone is supported. Management zones have the following properties:

• Management zones host management interfaces.
• Traffic entering management zones does not match policies; therefore, traffic cannot transit out of any other interface if it was received in the management interface.
• Management zones can only be used for dedicated management interfaces.
