How to Configure Network Objects from Named Networks

  • Last updated on

To be able to use the information stored in the Named Network object in the firewall configuration, you must create network objects. The networks included in the network objects are defined by setting the scope of the Named Network object. The scope can be defined individually for each Named Network tree node in the network object. This allows you to use Named Networks for standard network object lists of network addresses or IP address. You can also create wildcard network objects by selecting a wider scope when selecting the included Named Network tree nodes and group categories.

Create a Network Object from a Named Network Object

  1. Go to CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Box > Assigned Services > Firewall > Forwarding Rules.
  2. In the left menu, cli ck Networks
  3. Click Lock.
  4. Right-click the table and select  New. The  Edit/Create Network Object  window opens.
