Chapter 5: Creating Rule Elements
Creating network objects
When you add a new IP address, a window similar to the following appears.
This window is used to define information about an IP address. (To create a
different network object, change the Type field.) Each IP address you define
becomes a network object that can be used in a rule. Follow the steps below.
1 In the Name field, enter a name for this object. Valid values include
alphanumeric characters, periods (.), dashes(-), and underscores (_), and
spaces ( ). However, the first and last character of the name must be
alphanumeric. The name cannot exceed 100 characters.
This field cannot be edited if you are modifying an existing IP address.
2 [Optional] In the Description field, enter any useful information about this IP
address object.
3 In the IP Address field, type the value of the IP address.
4 Click Add to add the IP address information. (If you are modifying an
existing IP address object, click OK.)
Configuring netmaps
Netmap objects allow you to map multiple IP addresses and subnets to
alternate addresses without creating numerous rules. A netmap consists of
one or more netmap members. A netmap member is any IP address or subnet
that you add to a particular netmap. Each member in the netmap is mapped to
an alternate address that you specify. For more information about netmaps,
see “Rule elements” on page 103.
