Managing Network Objects
The
Users & Objects
>
Network Objects
page lists the network objects defined in the system. In this page
you can add, edit, and delete network objects.
The most common use for network objects is to define a security policy and exceptions to it. These objects
can be used as hosts for the internal DNS service and their IP addresses can be configured as fixed for the
internal DHCP service.
These are the available network object types:
n
Single IP
- Represents a device with a single IP address (host object).
n
IP Range
- Represents a range of IP addresses.
n
Network
- Represents a network.
n
Domain Name
- Represents a Domain.
Important - You can create a maximum of 1000 objects in total. For example, 500 host
objects, 300 network objects and 200 Domain Name objects.

1. Click

Allow DNS server to resolve this object name
- When the gateway is the DNS server for your
internal networks, the name of the server/network object is translated to its IP address.
Exclude from DHCP service
- The internal DHCP service does not distribute the configured IP
address of this server/network object to anyone.
n
Reserve IP address in DHCP service for MAC
- The internal DHCP service distributes the
configured IP address only to this server/network object based on its MAC address.
n
Enter the
MAC address
- This is required for IP reservation. When you create the object from
the
Active Devices
page, the MAC address is detected automatically.
