asked on 

Sonicwall zone access

Under zone access for firewall setup,

WLAN-MGMT can access WLAN-GUEST but not in reverse direction. Does it mean that I should only consider the outgoing path (ie. WLAN-MGMT -> WLAN-GUEST) from the zone and the incoming / return direction (ie. WLAN-GUEST -> WLAN-MGMT) will be implicitly allowed ?

Thx

It looks like it should work exactly as you are describing. What's the problem?

No problem, but just want to clarify my understand.

So for setup any Firewall access rule, I only need to grant "Allow" for "From Zone"  to "To Zone". Return path will be impllicitly allowed, ie,

If packet can pass through WLAN-MGMT -> WLAN-GUEST, then its return packet will be allowed, even through zone from WLAN-GUEST to WLAN-MGMT is not allowed.

Thx

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
