NETWORK OBJECTS

8.3a/
Network objects define a group, such as a group of computers, on your
Gateway network by MAC address, IP address, and /or host name.
The defined group becomes a network object. You can apply settings,
such as configuring system rules, to all devices defined in the network
object.
For example, instead of setting the same website filtering
configuration individually to five computers one at a time, you can
define the computers as a network object. Website filtering can then
be simultaneously applied to all the computers.
You can use network objects to apply security rules based on host
names, instead of IP addresses. This is useful since IP addresses
change from time to time. In addition, you can define network objects
according to MAC address to make the rule application more persistent
against network configuration settings.

To define a network object:

Select Network Objects in the Advanced page.
