Firewall Builder supports a variety of object types, both simple and complex. Simple object types include Address, Network, Host, and IP, TCP, UDP and ICMP service objects. More complex object types are Firewall, Address Table, DNS Name, and User Service.
There are the following types of objects in Firewall Builder:
Addressable objects: Section 5.2 describes objects that have, either directly or indirectly, an address of some kind. This category includes the physical objects (firewalls, hosts, interfaces) as well as some logical objects (networks, address ranges, individual addresses). Addressable objects can be grouped together into Object groups.
Service objects: Section 5.3 describes objects that represent services. They include IP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP services, as well as user services. Service objects can be grouped together into Service groups.
Time Interval objects: Described in Section 5.4, these represent a discreet or recurring period of time. They can be used as part of a rule in the firewall. For example, you could have a rule that matches on weekends, but not during the week.
Rule set objects: Described in Section 5.2.4, these represent the various rule sets in a firewall. By default, a firewall starts with one access policy, one NAT, and one routing rule set, but you can add more of each. Rule set objects only exist as child objects of a firewall.
All objects in Firewall Builder have some characteristics in common.
All objects have a Name field and a Comment field. The Name field can contain white spaces and can be arbitrarily long (though shorter names work better in the GUI). The Comment field can contain any text of any length.
