6.6 Objects
Objects store information and are referenced by other features. If you update this
information in response to changes, the ZyWALL automatically propagates the
change through the features that use the object. Move your cursor over a
configuration object that has a magnifying-glass icon (such as a user group,
address, address group, service, service group, zone, or schedule) to display basic
information about the object.
The following table introduces the objects. You can also use this table when you
want to delete an object because you have to delete references to the object first.
