Excluding a Node

When you exclude a node, you block it from connecting to your network through the security
appliance. Excluding a node creates an address object for that IP address and assigns it to the
Node License Exclusion List address group.
To exclude a node:
Step 1 Select the node you want to exclude in the Currently Licensed Nodes table on the
System > Licenses page, and click the icon in the Exclude column for that node.
Step 2 A warning displays, saying that excluding this node will create an address object for it and place
it in the License Exclusion List address group. Click OK to exclude the node.
You can manage the License Exclusion List group and address objects in the Network >
Address Objects page of the management interface. Click the Node License Exclusion List
link to jump to the Network > Address Objects page. See Chapter 19, Network > Address
Objects for instructions on managing address objects.
