Dynamic Group

Dynamic Groups are comprised of Dynamic External Address Groups (DEAG) and Dynamic External Address Objects (DEAO). A DEAG is an Address Group whose members are dynamic. DEAOs are intermediate, internal objects that are dynamically created and placed under a DEAG when a DEAG file is downloaded. The Dynamic External Objects feature eliminates the need for manually modifying an Address Group to add or remove members.

Dynamic Group page

Pop-up tool tips appear when you hover over many of the fields in a DEAG entry.

You can configure multiple Dynamic External Address Groups which can be used in access rules or security policies.

For example, if you want to maintain a group for all partner IP addresses on which certain access rules or security policies are enforced, you can create a DEAG or DEAO.

The creation of a DEAO consists:

• Creation of the DEAG file on an FTP server or on a web page at a specific URL
• Configuration of the DEAG on the OBJECT | Match Objects > Dynamic Group page including downloading and using the information in the DEAG file.

From Dynamic Group page, you can:

• Filter the table data with a specific string
• Add, modify, and delete Dynamic External Address Groups
• Export the table information into CSV file
• Refresh the table to get the latest data
