to be configured from a user on the Internet. Keep in mind that the device always requires a username and

3.3 Policy Object
The Policy Object is the pre-setting item for Policy editing. The administrator can configure all necessary
items here before he wants to configure Multi-Homing Security Gateway Policy. The contents include
Address , Service, Schedule, QoS, Authentication, Content Blocking, Virtual server and VPN.
3.3.1 Address
The Multi-Homing Security Gateway allows the Administrator to set addresses of the LAN network, LAN
network group, WAN network, WAN group, DMZ network and DMZ group.
What is the Address Table?
An IP address in the Address Table can be an address of a computer or a sub network. The Administrator can
assign an easily recognized name to an IP address. Based on the network it belongs to, an IP address can be
an LAN IP address, WAN IP address and DMZ IP address. If the Administrator needs to create a control
policy for packets of different IP addresses, he can first add a new group in the LAN Network Group or the
WAN Network Group and assign those IP addresses into the newly created group. Using group addresses
can greatly simplify the process of building control policies.
How to use Address Table
With easily recognized names of IP addresses and names of address groups shown in the address table, the
Administrator can use these names as the source address or destination address of control policies. The
address table should be built before creating control policies, so that the Administrator can pick the names of
correct IP addresses from the address table when setting up control policies.
