- Select the existing ingress Zone for the traffic object or create a new zone.Select the Router. Refer to the section on how to configure a Logical Router.Select Save to create the traffic object.This creates a sub-interface using the zone and the Traffic Object ID, and we map the sub-interface to the zone. This zone defines granular security policies on the cloud assets within a zone.Ensure that the traffic object is attached to a zone within the security policy. You can associate traffic objects with either a new zone and attach it to a security policy or with an existing zone that is already part of a security policy.
