5-10 Creating Rule Elements<br />

A network object can be an IP address, a host, a network domain, a<br />

netmap, a subnet, or netgroup. When you create rules to allow or<br />

deny a connection to or through the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, you must specify<br />

a network object as the source or destination <strong>of</strong> the connection. The<br />

following sections provide information on creating each type <strong>of</strong><br />

network object. For basic information on network objects, see<br />

“Network objects” on page 4-9.<br />

Displaying network objects and netgroups<br />

To display the network objects and groups currently set up in the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, using the Admin Console, select<br />

Policy Configuration -> Rule Elements -> Network Objects. The following<br />

window appears.<br />

This window lists the network objects currently configured on the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. You can perform the following actions in this<br />

window:<br />

Filter the list <strong>of</strong> network objects—To modify the list that is displayed,<br />

select an object type from the Filter drop-down list. The list will<br />

then display only network objects <strong>of</strong> that type.<br />

Configure a new network object—To configure a new object, click<br />

New. The New Network Object window appears. See “About the<br />

New Network Object window” on page 5-12.
