Deleting In-use IP Objects
If an IP object is deleted that is in use by another object then NetDefendOS will not allow the
configuration to be deployed and will generate a warning message. In other words, it will appear
that the object has been successfully deleted but NetDefendOS will not allow the configuration
to be saved to the NetDefend Firewall.

3.1.3. Ethernet Addresses

Ethernet Address objects are used to define symbolic names for MAC addresses. This is useful, for
example, when populating the ARP table with static ARP entries or for other parts of the
configuration where symbolic names are preferred over numerical Ethernet addresses.
When specifying an Ethernet address the format aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff should be used. Ethernet
addresses are also displayed using this format.
Example 3.5. Adding an Ethernet Address
The following example adds an Ethernet Address object named wwwsrv1_mac with the
numerical MAC address 08-a3-67-bc-2e-f2.
