The Network configuration dialog allows you to configure the following elements:
| Input field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Enter a name for the network object. |
| Description | Optional: Enter additional information on the network object for internal use. |
| Tags | Optional: From the drop-down list, select the desktop tags that you want to assign to the network 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 the user to log in to your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall using the IP address of this network object. This setting allows your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall to apply user-specific firewall rules to the current user. |
| Interface | Select the interface that the network is connected to. |
| Network IP | Enter the IP address of the network in CIDR notation (IP address followed by a slash "/" and the number of bits set in the subnet mask, for example 192.168.50.0/24). |
| Exempt From IDS/IPS Scanning |
Excludes this network object 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".

Excludes this network object from anti virus 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".

The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel depend on whether you add a new network object or edit an existing object. For a newly configured object, click Create to add the object to the list of available network objects or Cancel to discard your changes. To edit an existing network, click Save to store the reconfigured network or Reset to discard your changes. You can click Close to shut the editor panel as long as no changes have been made on it.

Activate in the toolbar at the top of the desktop to apply your configuration changes.
