Create Dynamic Objects with Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center and On-Premises Dynamic Attributes Connector

Dynamic objects are automated network objects that synchronize IP addresses from cloud services to your management center via the dynamic attributes connector.

This page appears when you choose to configure an on-premises Dynamic Attributes Connector with Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center in Security Cloud Control.

Cloud-Delivered FMC and Dynamic Attributes Connector Integration
To configure cloud-delivered FMC with on-premises dynamic attributes connector, you must onboard the FMC to Security Cloud Control then create an adapter in the dynamic attributes connector that communicates with the FMC

  1. Install the Dynamic Attributes Connector on a supported Linux virtual machine.

  2. Configure connectors. These connectors retrieve IP addresses from cloud services.

  3. Configure adapters. These adapters send IP addresses to your Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.

  4. Configure dynamic attributes filters. These filters determine what IP addresses to send to the management center.

  5. Click Administration > Firewall Management Center and choose Cloud-Delivered FMC.

  6. View your dynamic objects at Objects > External Attributes > Dynamic Object.

  7. Use dynamic objects in access control rules (Policies > Security policies > Access Control, then click the Dynamic Attributes tab).

    You can also use the objects in DNS rules.
