dynamic objects

Manages dynamic objects on the appliance. The dynamic_objects command specifies an IP address to which the dynamic object is resolved.

First, define the dynamic object in the SmartDashboard. Then create the same object with the CLI (-n argument). After the new object is created on the gateway with the CLI, you can use the dynamic_objects command to specify an IP address for the object.

Any change you make to dynamic objects' ranges are applied immediately to the objects. It is not necessary to reinstall the policy.
