14.9 Network Objects
Network Objects is a method used to logically define a set of LAN hosts, according 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 MP-
20x's security filtering settings such as IP address filtering, host name filtering or MAC
address filtering.
You can use network objects 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 configuration settings.
¾ To define a network object:
1. In the 'Advanced' screen, click the Network Objects icon; the 'Network
Objects' screen appears.
