Does the UTM IPS protect LAN to LAN Traffic as well?

Question

I am trying to understand if the UTM IPS will prevent attacks coming from 1 LAN say 192.168.1.1/24 to another say 192.168.5.1/24 if you have both local networks added into the local network aspect of the global settings.

Hi Badrobot 
 Yes, UTM IPS will prevent attacks coming from 1 LAN to another LAN on the different interface or VLAN (as long as that traffic passes through UTM). Please refer this KBA 
 The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) analyzes every packet destined for the networks defined in the 'Local networks' dialog box in the 'Global IPS Settings' section and will either 'Drop silently' or 'Terminate connection' based on the defined 'Policy'. Packets are evaluated against signatures defined in the 'Attack Patterns' section of the IPS configuration pages/tabs. Hope this helps.
