95User Manual v16.2.1 ─ 01
A custom host (for example a printer or a VoIP phone) can be assigned a dedicated IP
address so that firewall rules can be specifically applied to it. Custom hosts are dis-
played as nodes on the desktop.
In the expanded view, the columns of the table display the "Name" , "Zone" and "IP"
address of the hosts. The buttons in the last column allow you to view and adjust the
settings for an existing custom host, create a host based on a copy of an existing cus-
tom host or delete a host from the system.
Under "Nodes > Custom Hosts" , you can add a new or edit an existing custom host.
The "Custom Hosts" settings allow you to configure the following elements:
Field Description
"Name" Enter a unique name for the custom host.
"IP Address" Enter the IP address of this host.
The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel depend on whether you add a new
custom host or edit an existing host. For a newly configured custom host, click "Create"
to add the host to the list of available custom hosts or "Cancel" to discard your
changes. To edit an existing custom host, click "Save" to store the reconfigured host or
"Reset" to discard your changes. You can click "Close" to shut the editor panel as long
as no changes have been made on it.
3.4.5.2 Network Groups
A network group can include one or multiple network objects (for example, custom
hosts or custom networks) that are connected to the same zone. Therefore, you can
define one common firewall ruleset for the whole group and handle large rulesets.
Navigate to "Nodes > Network Groups" to display the list of network groups that are
currently defined on the system in the item list bar.
In the expanded view, the columns of the table display the "Name" of the network
group and the "Zone" that the group is associated with. The buttons in the last column
allow you to view and adjust the settings for an existing network group, create a group
based on a copy of an existing network group or delete a group from the system.
The "Network Group" settings allow you to configure the following elements:
Field Description
"Name" Enter a unique name for the network group.
"Description" Optional: The information given here is for internal use for the administrator
only.
