Barracuda Networks VERSION SP4 - Manual (Page 113)

111 Barracuda NG Network Access Client - Administrator’s Guide
In the Network Objects window, a number of dynamic network objects (flagged with the icon) are
preconfigured.
• localIP
The localIP object contains all IPs that are configured on trusted adapters, and a reference
to the Net-Broadcast object.
• virtualIP
The virtualIP object contains the IP address assigned from the VPN server. The virtual IP is
only available in case of established VPN connections.
• Net-[Network Connection name]
These objects contain the network addresses of each specific adapter available on the sys-
tem. The Network Connection name is retrieved from the Microsoft Windows Network Con-
nections view (available through
Start > Control > Network Connections ).
Net-[Network Connection name] objects may be used for setup of abstract rule sets.
• InterNet
The InterNet object may be used for outbound connections to the Internet (network
0.0.0.0 /0 ).
• TrustedNet
Use the TrustedNet object to refer to trustworthy networks. The content of this object is de-
pendent on assignment of an adapter as trusted or untrusted (9.8.6 Adapters, page 108).
When an adapter is specified as trusted the IP addresses living on it are added to the Trust-
edNet object. Vice versa they are deleted from it, when trust assignment changes to untrust-
ed. The TrustedNet object is also updated when IP address configuration of a trusted
adapter changes.
• Net-NGVPN
The Net-NGVPN object contains the address of that network the virtualIP object is living in.
• Net-Broadcast
This object contains the broadcast addresses of IP addresses configured on trusted adapt-
ers. The broadcast addresses are calculated directly from the IPs.
• Net-Multicast
Dynamic objects are updated at runtime when network configuration changes and cannot be edited manually. For
dynamic update to work, Automatic Adapter Assignment must be selected in the Firewall Settings (9.4.1 Firewall
Menu, page 91).
The "logical" Microsoft Windows name, which dependents on the operating system’s language version and not
the device name, is applicable for object naming.
Secured Routes are assigned to the Net-NGVPN Object.
