Manage Polymorphic Objects

524
Global MIP/DIP/VIP objects in current NSM are intrinsically polymorphic. For all other
categories of shared objects at Central Manager level, only concrete shared objects are
supported.
You can create polymorphic objects at the Central Manager level or the regional server
level. When polymorphic objects are created in the Central Manager they are pushed to
one or more regional servers where they are available to be populated with real values.
The workflow for using polymorphic objects is:
"Create a Polymorphic Object" on page 524
"Add a Polymorphic Object to a Pre/Post Rule" on page 524
"Map a Polymorphic Object to a Real Value" on page 525
