Zone specification

In order for FIAIF to know which zone configuration files to use, each zone name must be listed in FIAIF global configuration file, named /etc/fiaif/fiaif.conf. This file contains multiple global configuration directives. In this file, a configuration directive ZONE should be set to a list of identifiers for all enabled zones. These identifiers must match the name as specified in the corrosponding zone configuration file. For each zone identifier, <zone>, a configuration directive specifying the name of the configuration file must be present. The form of these configuration directives are: CONF_<zone>=<file name>.

Example:

ZONE="INT EXT"
CONF_INT='zone.int'
CONF_EXT='zone.ext'

In the example above, two zones are enabled. The zones are named INT and EXT. The configuration file for zone INT is called zone.int, and the configuration file for zone EXT is called zone.ext. It is important that the name specified within the configuration files correspond to the identifier in the global configuration file.

The next section will describe in detail how to setup a zone configuration file.
