Configuring object groups

About object groups

An object group is a group of objects that can be used by an ACL to identify packets. Object groups are divided into the following types:

·     MAC address object group—A group of MAC address objects used to match the MAC address in a packet.

·     IPv4 address object group—A group of IPv4 address objects used to match the IPv4 address in a packet or match the user from whom a packet comes.

·     IPv6 address object group—A group of IPv6 address objects used to match the IPv6 address in a packet or match the user from whom a packet comes.

·     Service object group—A group of service objects used to match the upper-layer service in a packet.

Restrictions and guidelines: Object group configuration

You cannot edit an object group if the group is used by a global static NAT rule.

Configuring a MAC address object group

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Create a MAC address object group and enter its view.

object-group mac-address object-group-name

3.     (Optional.) Configure a description for the MAC address object group.

description text

By default, an object group does not have a description.

4.     Configure a MAC address object.

[ object-id ] mac { mac-address | group-object group-object-name }

Renaming an object group

You can only rename non-default object groups.

Configuring aging of DNS-resolved IP addresses from host names

About this task

In load balancing scenarios where one host name maps to several IP addresses, DNS-resolved IP address for a host name changes between these mapping addresses. Upon every change, the object group module notifies relevant policies (such as security policy) of the change, which causes policies to submit changes frequently and consumes memory. To resolve this issue, you can enable aging of DNS-resolved IP addresses from host names.

With this feature enabled, the system maintains an IP address group for each host name. If a resolved IP address is not in the group, the system adds the address to the group and notifies relevant policies of the change. If a resolved IP address is in the group, the system does not notify relevant policies.
