Network Objects is a method used to abstractly define a set of LAN hosts, ac-
cording to one or more MAC address, IP address, and host name. Defining
such a group can assist when configuring system rules. For example, network
objects can be used when configuring the Router's security filtering settings
such as IP address filtering, host name filtering or MAC address filtering.
You can use network objects in order to apply security rules based on host
names instead of IP addresses. This may be useful, since IP addresses change
from time to time. Moreover, it is possible to define network objects according to
MAC addresses, making rule application more persistent against network con-
figuration settings.
