8.3a/ NETWORK OBJECTS
Network objects defi ne a group, such as a group of computers, on your
Gateway network by MAC address, IP address, and /or host name.
The defi ned group becomes a network object. You can apply settings,
such as confi guring system rules, to all devices defi ned in the network
object.
For example, instead of setting the same website fi ltering
confi guration individually to fi ve computers one at a time, you can
defi ne the computers as a network object. Website fi ltering can then
be simultaneously applied to all the computers.
You can use network objects to apply security rules based on host
names, instead of IP addresses. This is useful since IP addresses
change from time to time. In addition, you can defi ne network objects
according to MAC address to make the rule application more persistent
against network confi guration settings.
