Create Security Zone and Interface Group Objects
Add security zones and interface groups to which you can assign device interfaces.
|
You can create empty interface objects and add interfaces to them later. To add an interface, the interface must have a name. You can also create security zones (but not interface groups) while configuring interfaces. |
Before you begin
Understand the usage requirements and restrictions for each type of interface object. See Security Zones and Interface Groups.
Procedure
| 1 |
Choose . You can alternatively choose to create objects. |
| 2 |
Choose Interface from the list of object types. |
| 3 |
Click Add > Security Zone or Add > Interface Group. |
| 4 |
Enter a Name. Do not use the same name as a network or port object. These object names are deployed to the device, and duplicate names result in a failed deployment. |
| 5 |
Choose an Interface Type. |
| 6 |
(Optional) From the drop-down list, choose a device that contains interfaces you want to add. You do not need to assign interfaces on this screen; you can instead assign interfaces to the zone or group when you configure the interface. |
| 7 |
Click Save. |

If an active policy references your object, deploy configuration changes.
