Cisco’s Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness uses a flexible and easily understood zone-based model for data traffic inspection. Zone-based firewalls allow inspection of TCP, UDP, and ICMP data traffic. A zone can contain a group of one or more VPNs. Grouping VPNs into zones allows users to establish security boundaries in the overlay network so that users can control all data traffic that passes between zones.

A firewall policy defines the conditions that the data traffic flow from the source zone must match to allow the flow to the destination zone. Firewall policies can match IP prefixes, IP ports, the protocols TCP, UDP, and ICMP, and applications. Matching flows for prefixes, ports, and protocols can be accepted or dropped, and the packet headers can be logged.
