Network elements
Network elements represent included IP addresses in NGFW Engine configurations.
| Element Type | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Address Ranges | Define a set of consecutive IP addresses between a start address and end address that you define. |
| Aliases | Context-dependent elements with no fixed value. The value is defined per engine and is determined when a policy containing the Alias is installed. |
| Countries | Country elements contain lists of IP addresses registered in a particular country. |
| Domain Names | The name of an Internet domain that is automatically resolved by an NGFW Engine to all IP addresses associated with the domain. |
| Expressions | Allow defining IP addresses using logical operators, which simplify the definition of complex sets of addresses. |
| Groups | Allow collecting together other Network Elements of any type. Represents all IP addresses defined in the included elements. |
| Hosts | Represent a single IP address. |
| IP Address Lists | Represent a list of IP addresses. |
| Networks | Represent a complete (sub)network of addresses. |
| NGFW Engines | Configurations particular to individual NGFW Engines, such as the interface configuration. |
| Routers | Represent a next-hop router in configurations where required. In policies, represent a single IPv4 or IPv6 address. |
| Servers | Represent an SMC server or an external server that provides a service to the system. In policies, represent a single IP address. |
| Zones | Interface reference that can combine several network interfaces of NGFW Engines into one logical entity. Used for defining interface matching requirements in traffic handling rules in policies. |
