Networks
Create a network that can be used to create connections between the network and
other objects (such as VPN objects, etc.).
Networks Overview
Navigate to "Network Objects > Networks" to display the list of networks that are cur-
rently defined on the system in the item list bar.
In the expanded view, the columns of the table display the "Name" and the "IP" of the
network as well as the "Interface" it is connected to. The buttons in the last column
allow you to view and adjust the settings for an existing network, create a network
based on a copy of an existing network or delete a network from the system.

Networks Settings
The "Network" settings allow you to configure the following elements:
Field
Description
"Name"
Specify a name for the network.
"Color"
Select the color to be used for this object on the desktop.
"Allow login"
Select this checkbox to allow the user to log on to the gateprotect Firewall via
the IP address of this network object. This allows your gateprotect Firewall to
apply user-specific firewall rules to the user being logged on.
"Interface"
Select the interface that the network is connected to.
"Network IP"
Enter the IP address of the network in CIDR notation (IP address followed by a
slash »/« and the number of bits set in the subnet mask, for example
192.168.50.0/24
).
The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel depend on whether you add a new
network or edit an existing network. For a newly configured network, click "Create" to
add the network to the list of available networks or "Cancel" to discard your changes.
To edit an existing network, click "Save" to store the reconfigured network or "Reset" to
discard your changes. You can click "Close" to shut the editor panel as long as no
changes have been made on it.
Click " Activate" in the toolbar at the top of the desktop to apply your configuration
changes.

Host Groups
Create desktop objects for host groups that can be used to create connections
between multiple hosts and other network objects (such as VPN objects, etc.). Host
groups can be used as sources and/or destinations to apply firewall rules and web fil-
ters to multiple computers.
