    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The /etc/shorewall/zones file declares your network zones. You
    specify the hosts in each zone through entries in
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> or
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename>.</para>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">ZONE</emphasis> —
        <emphasis>zone</emphasis>[<emphasis
        role="bold">:</emphasis><emphasis>parent-zone</emphasis>[<emphasis
        role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>parent-zone</emphasis>]...]</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Name of the <emphasis>zone</emphasis>. The names "all",
          "none", "SOURCE" and "DEST" are reserved and may not be used as zone
          names. The maximum length of a zone name is determined by the
          setting of the LOGFORMAT option in <ulink
          url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5). With the
          default LOGFORMAT, zone names can be at most 5 characters
          long.</para>

          <para>Where a zone is nested in one or more other zones, you may
          follow the (sub)zone name by ":" and a comma-separated list of the
          parent zones. The parent zones must have been declared in earlier
          records in this file. See <ulink
          url="shorewall-nesting.html">shorewall-nesting</ulink>(5) for
          additional information.</para>

          <para>Example:</para>

          <programlisting>#ZONE     TYPE     OPTIONS         IN OPTIONS        OUT OPTIONS
a         ipv4
b         ipv4
c:a,b     ipv4</programlisting>

          <para>Currently, Shorewall uses this information to reorder the zone
          list so that parent zones appear after their subzones in the list.
          The IMPLICIT_CONTINUE option in shorewall.conf can also create
          implicit CONTINUE policies to/from the subzone.</para>

          <para>In the future, Shorewall may make additional use of nesting
          information.</para>

                the column. Communication with some zone hosts may be
                encrypted. Encrypted hosts are designated using the

                one 'firewall' zone. No options are permitted with a
                'firewall' zone. The name that you enter in the ZONE column
                will be stored in the shell variable $FW which you may use in
                other configuration files to designate the firewall
                zone.</para>
