Ensure network interfaces are assigned to appropriate zone

Description

Firewall zones define the trust level of network connections or interfaces. Note: Changing firewall settings while connected over network can result in being locked out of the system.

Rationale

A network interface not assigned to the appropriate zone can allow unexpected or undesired network traffic to be accepted on the interface.
