Configuring Network Objects
A Network Object can be a single IP address on your LAN or a group of IP addresses. Network
Objects can also be services, schedules, bandwidth control settings, or filter profiles. The Net-
work Objects you create are then available in the drop-down menus of their respective category.
Creating Network Objects makes managing your policy settings easier. For example, you can
configure complex filter rules and save the parameters as a Network Object. The next time you
want to apply those settings to an account, you just select the Network Object from the respec-
tive drop-down menu.
Click Network Object to display the Network Object menu items.
