Configuring IP Groups

3.Configure the address/mask pair.

●New IP Network. Type in the network address for a LAN.

●New IP Mask. Type in a mask to define the range of addresses that will become members of the IP Group. The larger the mask, the smaller and more focused the address range will be. The method is just like masking a subnet.

4.The address/mask pair can be as simple as the network address for a specific LAN and its subnet mask. In that case, all the addresses in the LAN become members of the IP Group. Or, the pair can use the network address, but with a larger mask (more bits) to reduce the range of the address space, so that a smaller range of addresses become members.

5.Click Apply, then Close to return to the General tab.

6.Your new pair appears in the Members list.

7.From the Associate this group with area, select a security gateway that the group must be associated with.

8.The security gateway selected should be one that is protecting the LAN containing the IP Group.

9.Click Save.

10.(Optional) Go to the Memo tab to make a note about this IP Group.

Configuring an IP Group that connects to an extranet

Typically, IP Groups are associated with security gateways that belong to the same VPN domain. However, IP Groups can also be associated with security gateways that belong to other VPN domains. For example, IP Groups can be associated with your organization’s customers, suppliers, or to other IKE/IPSec compatible devices.

Note:

For a detailed explanation about extranets, see Exporting a VPN object to an extranet on page 158

2.From the Contents column, select the IP Group to be configured. Click the General tab to bring it to the front.
