Use Network Resource Objects to Simplify Policies
Network resources are groups of IP addresses, IP address ranges, and services. By defining
resource objects, you can more quickly create and configure network policies. You do not
need to redefine the same set of IP addresses or address ranges when you configure the
same access policies for multiple users.
Defining network resources is optional; smaller organizations can choose to create access
policies using individual IP addresses or IP networks rather than predefined network
resources. But for most organizations, NETGEAR recommends that you use network
resources. If your server or network configuration changes, you can perform an update
quickly by using network resources instead of individually updating all of the user and group
policies.
Add New Network Resources
 To define a network resource:
1. Select VPN > SSL VPN > Resources. The Resources screen displays. (The following
figure shows some resources in the List of Resources table as an example.)
Figure 204.
2. In the Add New Resource section of the screen, specify information in the following fields:
• Resource Name. A descriptive name of the resource for identification and
management purposes.
• Service. From the Service drop-down list, select the type of service to which the
resource applies:
- VPN Tunnel. The resource applies only to a VPN tunnel.
- Port Forwarding. The resource applies only to port forwarding.
- All. The resource applies both to a VPN tunnel and to port forwarding.
3. Click the Add table button. The new resource is added to the List of Resources table.
