From, To
This is the direction of travel of packets to which an IDP profile is
bound. Traffic direction is defined by the zone the traffic is coming
from and the zone the traffic is going to.
Note: Depending on your network topology and traffic load,
binding every packet direction to an IDP profile may affect
the NXC’s performance.
Use the From field to specify the zone from which the traffic is
coming. Use the To field to specify the zone to which the traffic is
going.
From LAN1 To LAN1 means packets traveling from a computer on
one LAN1 subnet to a computer on another LAN subnet via the NXC’s
LAN1 zone interfaces. The NXC does not check packets traveling
from a LAN1 computer to another LAN1 computer on the same
subnet.
From WAN To WAN means packets that come in from the WAN
zone and the NXC routes back out through the WAN zone.

This field shows which IDP profile is bound to which traffic direction.
Select an IDP profile to apply to the entry’s traffic direction.
