Create Security Zone and Interface Group Objects

Add security zones and interface groups to which you can assign device interfaces.

Tip

You can create empty interface objects and add interfaces to them later. To add an interface, the interface must have a name. You can also create security zones (but not interface groups) while configuring interfaces.

Before you begin

Understand the usage requirements and restrictions for each type of interface object. See Security Zones and Interface Groups.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Objects > Object Management.

You can alternatively choose Objects > Other FTD Objects to create objects.

Step 2

Choose Interface from the list of object types.

Step 3

Click Add > Security Zone or Add > Interface Group.

Step 4

Enter a Name.

Step 5

Choose an Interface Type.

Step 6

(Optional) From the Device > Interfaces drop-down list, choose a device that contains interfaces you want to add.

You do not need to assign interfaces on this screen; you can instead assign interfaces to the zone or group when you configure the interface.

Step 7

Click Save.

What to do next

  • If an active policy references your object, deploy configuration changes.
