   Figure 6.6. Configuring zone hierarchy

3. Click the right arrow to make the selected zone the child of the zone above it.

4. Commit the changes to the site.

   Note
   Zone definitions are site-wide, so modifications are effective on every firewall of the site.

5. Select all hosts of the site and upload the configuration.

   This step is required because changes in the zone hierarchy must be uploaded to all firewall nodes.

6. Select all hosts of the site, click the Control icon of the icon bar and reload the configuration.
