Description
firewalld supports policies, which can manage inter-zone IP forwarding.
Configuration files are saved under /etc/firewalld/policies as XML.
For example,
xtex@nl-alk1 ~ % sudo firewall-offline-cmd --info-policy=dn42-forward
dn42-forward (active)
priority: -1
target: CONTINUE
ingress-zones: dn42
egress-zones: dn42
services:
ports:
protocols:
masquerade: no
forward-ports:
source-ports:
icmp-blocks:
rich rules:
rule family="ipv4" destination ipset="dn42-v4" accept
rule family="ipv6" destination ipset="dn42-v6" accept
rule family="ipv4" source ipset="dn42-v4" accept
rule family="ipv6" source ipset="dn42-v6" accept

Research direction
The issue names firewalld policy XML under /etc/firewalld/policies and shows firewall-offline-cmd --info-policy output, but no Salt files or tests. Start by locating Salt's existing firewalld support and comparing its interfaces with policy configuration; done means firewalld policies can be managed through Salt with behavior covered by tests.
