About the Netmap
Members window
To create a netmap, in the New Network Object window, select netmap. A
window similar to the following appears.
This window is used to create or modify a netmap. (To create a different
network object, change the Type field.) Each netmap you define becomes a
network object that can be used in a rule. Follow the steps below.
1 In the Name field, type the name of the new netmap. Valid values include
alphanumeric characters, periods (.), dashes(-), and underscores (_).
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 netmap.
2 In the Description field, enter any useful information for this netmap.
3 To create a new netmap member, click New. The Netmap Members window
appears.
Once you add netmap members, you can sort them in the table by clicking
the column name that you want to sort. For example, if you want to sort the
table by type, click the Type column heading. All of the entries in the table
will be sorted by type and will appear in alphanumeric order. If you click the
heading a second time, the table will be sorted by type in the reverse alphanumeric
order.
4 Click Add to add the netmap information. (If you are modifying an existing
netmap, click OK.)
The Netmap Members window allows you to map an IP address or subnet
address to an alternate address within a netmap. (To create a different network
object, change the Type field.) Follow the steps below.
1 In the drop-down list that appears, select one of the following:
• IP Address—Select this option if you want to map an internal IP address
to be translated to a different IP address.
