How are zones and VLANs for the TMS zl Module set up with regards to the switch?
The TMS zl Module supports 19 VLANs distributed across 9 zones. The TMS zl Module communicates with the switch to determine which VLANs are configured on the switch. By default the TMS zl Module is not configured for using any VLANs. During the initial setup, one or more VLANs can be mapped to a TMS zl Module zone. Access polices (firewall rules) are setup between zones. For example, let’s assume that the External Zone was mapped to VLAN 10 and the Internal Zone was mapped to VLAN 100, VLAN 101, and VLAN 102. Traffic from VLAN 10 to VLANs 100, 101, or 102 would logically be from the External Zone to the Internal Zone. Therefore, any defined access policies that controlled traffic from the External Zone to the Internal zone would be applied to that traffic. Access policies can also be setup within a zone: For example, from the Internal Zone to the Internal Zone. To use our previous example, traffic from VLAN 100 to VLAN 101 would be considered from the Internal Zone to the Internal Zone
