Using Network Resource Objects to Simplify Policies
Network resources are groups of IP addresses, IP address ranges, and services. By defining
resource objects, you can more quickly create and configure network policies. You will not need to
redefine the same set of IP addresses or address ranges when configuring the same access policies
for multiple users.
Defining network resources is optional; smaller organizations can choose to create access policies
using individual IP addresses or IP networks rather than predefined network resources. But for
most organizations, we recommend that you use network resources. If your server or network
configuration changes, by using network resources you can perform an update quickly instead of
individually updating all of the user and group policies.
Adding New Network Resources
To define a network resource:
1.
Select
VPN > SSL VPN
from the main/submenu, and then select the Resources tab. The
Resources screen displays.
2.
In the
Add New Resource
section, type the (qualified) resource name in the
Resource Name
field.
3.
In the
Service
pull-down menu, select the type of service to apply to the resource: either VPN
Tunnel or Port Forwarding.
4.
Click
Add
.
The “Operation succeeded” message appears at the top of the tab, and the newly-added
resource name appears on the List of Resources table.
