Dynamic Group
Dynamic Groups are comprised of Dynamic External Address Groups (DEAG) and Dynamic External Address Objects (DEAO). A Dynamic External Address Group is an Address Group whose members are dynamic. Dynamic External Address Objects are intermediate, internal objects that are dynamically created and placed under a Dynamic External Address Group when a Dynamic External Address Group file is downloaded. The Dynamic External Objects feature eliminates the need for manually modifying an Address Group to add or remove members.
Popup tooltips appear when you move your mouse over many of the fields in a DEAG entry. Multiple Dynamic External Address Groups can be configured and you can use these DEAGs in access rules or policies. For example, if you want to maintain a group for all partner IP addresses on which certain access rules are enforced, you can create a Dynamic External Address Group / Dynamic External Object.
The creation of a Dynamic External Object consists of two parts:
- Creation of the Dynamic External Address Group file on an FTP server or on a web page at a specific URL
- Configuration of the Dynamic External Address Group on the Object > Dynamic Group page in SonicOS including downloading and using the information in the DEAG file.
