On assigning the zone via NM: https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/8 Look down to the "Specifying a particular firewall zone" bit ... remember that if you edit the files rather than using nmcli you must reload NM (or do nmcli reload) for that to take effect. If you specify a zone in NM then this will override the firewalld configuration if the zone is specified there.
