Network Objects; Configuring A Host As A Network Object; Configuring An Address Range As A Network Object - Check Point HARMONY R81 Administration Manual

Network Objects

Access Zones are made up of network objects. You define network objects by specifying one
or more:
n Host
IP address range
n
n Network
n 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.
