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 produce 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 Ethernet addresses (also known as
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.
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> add Address EthernetAddress wwwsrv1_mac
Address=192.168.10.16-192.168.10.21
