Network Objects

Access Zones are made up of network objects. You define network objects by specifying one or more:

• Host
• IP address range
• Network
• Site

Create network objects for areas that programs must have access to, or areas that programs must be prevented from accessing.

Define objects for each policy or define objects before you create a policy. After defining an object, the object can be reused in other policies.

The same Network Objects and Services are used throughout the SmartEndpoint and in SmartConsole. When you create a new object, it is also available in SmartConsole. If you change an object in the SmartEndpoint or SmartConsole, it is changed everywhere that the object is used.

Note - The Trusted Zone and the Internet Zone can also be used as objects in a Firewall policy. These objects are resolved dynamically by the client based on Access Zones policy assignment to the client.
