Objects

Objects: addresses, groups, services, schedules

Objects give a name to something you use in policies, so you change it in one place.

Object	Where	Examples
Address	Network → Addresses	host 192.168.1.23, subnet 192.168.2.0/24, range 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.150, FQDN example.com; IPv6 works the same way
Address group	Network → Address Groups	kids-devices = phone + tablet + console
Service	Network → Services	tcp 443, udp 51820, tcp 8000-8100
Service group	Network → Service Groups	web = http + https
Schedule	Policy & Objects → Schedules	weekdays 22:30-24:00

Each interface and VLAN with an address also gets an address object for its subnet automatically after import (for example lan-net).

Names are 1-63 letters, digits, ., _ or -.

Deleting objects

The trash icon at the end of a row deletes an object after a confirmation. If a policy, a group or a profile still uses it, the page refuses and says what uses it:

"Kids_Devices" is still used by policy 14 "wifi-rule-14", address group "family". Remove it there first.

Remove it from those first (or delete them), then delete the object.
