Defining Group elements
The Group element can be used to combine any number of previously defined elements into a single element.
The elements can be of different types. You can use Group elements in policies to make the policies clearer to read and to simplify the editing of configurations where the same elements always appear together. You can also use Groups to add monitored elements that are displayed in the Home view.
On the Group element’s NAT tab, you can view or edit the NAT definitions for the NAT configuration in which the element is included. However, you primarily configure NAT definitions in the properties of a Firewall engine.
