Create a subnet object based on an existing firewall
address. The object has the name of the firewall address
and is connected by a line to the interface associated with
that address. For more information about firewall
addresses, see “Firewall Address” on page 289.
Enter a name to identify the firewall address. Addresses,
address groups, and virtual IPs must have unique names
to avoid confusion in firewall policies.
If the field displays “Please choose”, select the interface or
zone to associate with this address. If the field already
displays a name, changing the setting will change the
interface or zone associated with this existing address.
Create a new firewall address and add a subnet object
based on that address to the topology diagram. The
address is associated with the interface you choose.
Enter a name to identify the firewall address. Addresses,
address groups, and virtual IPs must have unique names
to avoid confusion in firewall policies.
Select the type of address: Subnet/IP Range or FQDN.
If Type is Subnet/IP Range, enter firewall IP address,
forward slash, subnet mask, or enter IP start address,
hyphen, IP end address.
If Type is FQDN, enter the fully qualified domain name.
Select the interface or zone to associate with this address.
