Select this to activate Security Policy on the Zyxel Device to perform access control.
IPv4 / IPv6
Configuration
Use IPv4 / IPv6 search filters to find specific IPv4 and IPv6 (if enabled) security policies based on
direction, application, user, source, destination and/or schedule.
From / To
Select a zone to view all security policies from a particular zone and/or to a particular zone.
any
means all zones.
IPv4 / IPv6
Source
Type an IPv4 or IPv6 IP address to view all security policies based on the IPv4 / IPv6 source
address object used.
• An IPv4 IP address is written as four integer blocks separated by periods. This is an example
IPv4 address: 172.16.6.7.
• An 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons
(:). This is an example IPv6 address: 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000.
IPv4 / IPv6
Destination
Type an IPv4 or IPv6 IP address to view all security policies based on the IPv4 / IPv6 destination
address object used.
• An IPv4 IP address is written as four integer blocks separated by periods. This is an example
IPv4 address: 172.16.6.7.
• An 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons
(:). This is an example IPv6 address: 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000.

IPv4/IPv6 Policy
Management
Use the following items to manage IPv4 and IPv6 policies.
Allow
Asymmetrical
Route
If an alternate gateway on the LAN has an IP address in the same subnet as the Zyxel Device’s
LAN IP address, return traffic may not go through the Zyxel Device. This is called an
asymmetrical or “triangle” route. This causes the Zyxel Device to reset the connection, as the
connection has not been acknowledged.
Select this check box to have the Zyxel Device permit the use of asymmetrical route topology
on the network (not reset the connection).
Note: Allowing asymmetrical routes may let traffic from the WAN go directly to the
LAN without passing through the Zyxel Device. A better solution is to use virtual
interfaces to put the Zyxel Device and the backup gateway on separate
subnets.
