objects whenever the interface’s IP address settings change. For example, if you
change an Ethernet interface’s IP address, the ZyWALL automatically updates the
rules or settings that use the interface-based, LAN subnet address object.
You can use the Configuration > Objects screens to create objects before you
configure features that use them. If you are in a screen that uses objects, you can
also usually select Create new Object to be able to configure a new object. For a
list of common objects, see Section 6.6 on page 113.
Use the Object Reference screen (Section 3.3.3.3 on page 58) to see what
objects are configured and which configuration settings reference specific objects.
6.2 Zones, Interfaces, and Physical Ports
Zones (groups of interfaces and VPN tunnels) simplify security settings. Here is an
overview of zones, interfaces, and physical ports in the ZyWALL.
