How will the area change of an interface?

Hi,

yes, each interface needs to be part of any zone.
The zone is actually a property of the particular
network connection so it should be possible to change
this with the same tool where the other network
connection properties are changed, i.e. the
GUI to NetworkManager. But this part is still
not done.

On Fedora, NetworkManager stores these settings
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<iface>
files, which is at the moment the only place
where you can *permanently* change the zone
of an interface.
Just put for example 'ZONE=home' there.
If there's no ZONE key, then default zone is used.

It's also possible to change the zone with
firewall-cmd --zone=home --change --interface=em1
but that's only runtime change, so it doesn't
survive restart.

Hello.

I presume that a zone will be assigned to each interface. Is-it exact ?

How the change of zone will be done? Firewall-config UI ?
I have not seen this possibility with the firewall-cmd command. Is-it 
normal ?

Thanks.
