6.2a/ NETWORK OBJECTS
Network objects define a group, such as a group of computers, on
your Fios Router 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.
