Field Description
"Zone" From the drop-down list, select the zone that you want the network group to be
associated with.
Note: As long as a network group is associated with a zone, you cannot
change the IP address or the netmask of this zone.
"Members" Optional: Select the members that you want to be associated with the network
group. Only members that are associated with the same zone as the network
group can be selected.
Tip: One member can be part of multiple groups. Two network groups can con-
tain the same set of members.
Note: As long as a member is associated with a network group, this member
cannot be deleted or moved to another zone.
The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel depend on whether you add a new
network group or edit an existing group. For a newly configured network group, click
"Create" to add the group to the list of available network groups or "Cancel" to discard
your changes. To edit an existing network group, click "Save" to store the reconfigured
group 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.
The network groups defined here are displayed as nodes on the desktop. When you
assign a member to a network group, a copy of the member's desktop node is added
to the group.
Only the original network object can be edited or deleted, not the copy of the desktop
node.
Nodes of network groups are collapsed on the desktop by default. You can expand the
view and see the members associated with a network group by clicking in the circu-
lar menu around the node of the network group. To collapse the view, click .
The network groups are available for use as source and/or destination in custom fire-
wall rules as described under Chapter 3.3, "Firewall Rule Settings", on page 22.
3.4.5.3 Custom Networks
Navigate to "Nodes > Custom Networks" to display the list of available subnets that are
currently defined on the system in the item list bar.
Similar in purpose to zones, subnets can be used as sources and/or destinations to
apply firewall rules and web filters to multiple computers. Custom networks are dis-
played as nodes on the desktop.
In the expanded view, the table shows the "Name" and the IP address of the respec-
tive subnet. The buttons in the last column allow you to view and adjust the settings for
an existing custom network, create a subnet based on a copy of an existing custom
network or delete a subnet from the system.
Under "Nodes > Custom Networks" , you can add a new or edit an existing custom net-
work.
