I'm still learning firewalld obviously, and I am having trouble groking 
the documentation to understand how to do this.

I know I could do an iptables direct, but that doesn't seem like the 
"right" way to do it.

What I'm trying to do is allow a specific service, only for a specific ip.

Effectively, SNMP should be allowed form a specific IP address (the 
systems monitor). What would be the most correct way of doing this?

Create a zone for the snmp, then add the associated interface to that zone?

firewall-cmd --zone=monitoring --add-source=1.2.3.4/32
firewall-cmd --zone=monitoring --add-service=snmp
firewall-cmd --zone=monitoring --add-interface=ens192
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

Would this be an appropriate approach? Is it the 'most correct' way?
