Hello Alexander,

thank you for your feedback!

1. Yes, applying these settings requires a restart. I also think we should inform users of that in the GUI.
2. This is actually a major issue. I thought of two possible fixes: either the columns/rows get switched so the table grows vertically; or we introduce a scrollbar. Personally I think a scrollbar would be a better idea as I plan to also introduce network settings to the zoneconf interface so the site could get rather large if a user has many NICs on their machine. Also I think the height of the site should be consistent.
What do you think?

Regards
Florian

Hello Florian,

thank you for providing this new feature. I think it is a big enhancement to the user experience to bring this to the GUI. I tested the current nightly build (next/9d959ac1) and found two little issues:

The changes will not be applied until I reboot the machine. Is this the expected behaviour? If yes: I think there should be a hint on the page to inform the user about it and the file /var/run/need_reboot should be created to activate the corresponding banner "An update requires a restart!" in the GUI. Maybe the translations should be updated too. E.g. "An update or config change requires a reboot!

If I use the GUI-Theme "ipfire-legacy" and the system has more than three NICSs, the GUI-Content will overlap the sidemenu. I attached a screenshot with this.

Regards, Alex

Subject: [FEATURE] Zone configuration

Hey all,

I made a new web interface that allows users to assign network interfaces to zones. Check out the wiki article https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/network/zoneconf.

This feature is already part of the "next" branch of the IPFire 2.x main tree. Please review it and check for bugs :)

Regards

Flo
