8.3a/ NETWORK OBJECTS Network objects define a group, such as a
group of computers, on your Gateway network by MAC address, IP
address, and /or host name.The defined group becomes a network
object. You can apply settings, such as configuring system rules, to all
devices defined in the network object. For example, instead of setting
the same website filtering configuration individually to five computers
one at a time, you can define the computers as a network object.
Website filtering 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 define network objects
according to MAC address to make the rule application more persistent
against network configuration settings. To define a network object:
1. Select Network Objects in the Advanced page.
2. To define a network object, click Add. The Edit Network Objects page
displays.
