Object Types

The following table describes the objects that you can create for your devices and manage using Security Cloud Control.

Table 1. Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Object Types
Object	Description
Address Pool	Address pool objects can be configured to match against an individual IPv4 or IPv6 address or an IP address range.
AnyConnect Client Profile	AnyConnect Client Profile objects are file objects and represent files used in configurations, typically for remote access VPN policies. They can contain an AnyConnect Client Profile and AnyConnect Client Image files.
Network	Network groups and network objects (collectively referred to as network objects) define the addresses of hosts or networks.
Service	Service objects, service groups, and port groups are reusable components that contain protocols or ports considered part of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Time Range	A time range object defines a specific time consisting of a start time, an end time, and optional recurring entries. You use these objects in network policies to provide time-based access to certain features or assets.
Trustpoints	Trustpoints let you manage and track digital certificates in ASA.
