Description

I was having a strange issue with some firewall rules earlier today, so on this box I just wanted to remove all firewalling until I could figure out what was going on.

So:

$ show configuration commands | grep zone
set system time-zone 'UTC'
set zone-policy zone DMZ default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone DMZ from LAN firewall name 'LAN-LOCAL'
set zone-policy zone DMZ interface 'eth0.6'
set zone-policy zone LAN default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone LAN from DMZ firewall name 'DMZ-LAN'
set zone-policy zone LAN from LOCAL firewall ipv6-name 'LOCAL-LAN-6'
set zone-policy zone LAN from LOCAL firewall name 'LOCAL-LAN'
set zone-policy zone LAN from WAN firewall ipv6-name 'WAN-LAN-6'
set zone-policy zone LAN from WAN firewall name 'WAN-LAN'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0.2'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0.10'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0.50'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'l2tp+'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth1'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'wg0'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'wg3'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL from LAN firewall ipv6-name 'LAN-LOCAL-6'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL from LAN firewall name 'LAN-LOCAL'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL from WAN firewall ipv6-name 'WAN-LOCAL-6'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL from WAN firewall name 'WAN-LOCAL'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL local-zone
set zone-policy zone WAN default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone WAN from DMZ firewall name 'LAN-WAN'
set zone-policy zone WAN from LAN firewall ipv6-name 'LAN-WAN-6'
set zone-policy zone WAN from LAN firewall name 'LAN-WAN'
set zone-policy zone WAN from LOCAL firewall ipv6-name 'LOCAL-WAN-6'
set zone-policy zone WAN from LOCAL firewall name 'LOCAL-WAN'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'eth0.7'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'tun1'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'vtun1'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'wg1'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'wg2'

[ zone-policy zone LAN interface wg3 ]
ip6tables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?).
Error: call to delete interface wg3 from zone-chain
VZONE_LAN with failed [256]

delete [ zone-policy ] failed
Commit failed
client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe

This resulted a zone-policy where all the interfaces still existed, but all the from ... were deleted as such:

set system time-zone 'UTC'
set zone-policy zone DMZ default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone DMZ interface 'eth0.6'
set zone-policy zone LAN default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0.2'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0.10'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0.50'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth0'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'l2tp+'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'eth1'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'wg0'
set zone-policy zone LAN interface 'wg3'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone LOCAL local-zone
set zone-policy zone WAN default-action 'drop'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'eth0.7'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'tun1'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'vtun1'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'wg1'
set zone-policy zone WAN interface 'wg2'

Which essentially killed the networking on the server.

All zones were deleted without any issues. Perhaps it requires other options (adding/deleting other parts of configuration), which are not described.
I close the task, re-open it if necessary, with steps on how to reproduce it.
