The Host configuration dialog allows you to configure the following elements:
| Input field | Description |

| Tags | Optional: From the drop-down list, select the desktop tags that you want to assign to the host object. For more information, see Desktop Tags. |
| Color | Select the color to be used for this object on the desktop. |
| Allow login | Select this check box to allow users to log in to your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall using the IP address range of this host object. This allows your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall to apply user-specific firewall rules to the user currently logged on. |

| Exempt From IDS/IPS Scanning |

Note: An object can also already be implicitly excluded from the check. This is the case if it is
located in a network area that has already been explicitly excluded from the check by a parent object. In
this case, a corresponding note appears below the checkbox, which also lists the names of the objects from
which the setting was "inherited".
