D. Object FAQ

D01. Why does ZyWALL USG use object?

ZyWALL USG object include address, service, schedule, authentication method,

certificate, zone, interface group and ISP account object. The ZyWALL USG uses

object as a basic configuration block. It can simplify the configuration change once

your have some change in the network topology.

For example, User can first create a zone object WAN_ZONE with the WAN1

interface and later add the wan2 interface into WAN_ZONE. All security features that

use the WAN_ZONE will change their configuration immediately according to zone

object WAN_ZONE change.

We also provide a feature call “in-line object create”, this feature can let you create an

object without leaving the original page, for example, during the time creating an

Access Policy for SSL VPN, you can simply click the “Add” button, it will pop-up a

new windows and link to “User Configuration” page, therefore you don‟t have to

leave the page you are configuring access policy.
