Chapter 6 Managing Policy Objects
How Policy Objects are Provisioned as Object Groups
How Network/Host, Port List, and Service Objects are Named When
Provisioned As Object Groups
In most cases, network/host, port list, and service objects can be provisioned as object groups without
changing the object name. Table 6-36 on page 6-92 describes how object names are changed when the
names cannot be converted directly to object groups on supported devices.
Note The predefined network/host object any is not provisioned as an object group.

How Service Objects are Provisioned as Object Groups
The following table describes how Security Manager creates object groups when deploying service
objects to supported devices.
Table 6-36 How Network/Host, Port List, and Service Objects are Named as Object Groups
Condition New Name Examples
Object name includes a space. Space is replaced with an
underscore.
An object named my object is
provisioned as an object group
named my_object.
Object name is longer than 64
characters (the maximum
supported by object groups).
Name is truncated so that any
suffixes required by the object
group (such as _TCP or _UDP, or
unique numbers, such as _1) can
be added while remaining within
the 64-character limit.
Device already has an object
group (Protocol/ICMP/Service)
with the same name.
A numeric suffix is added to the
name, starting from 1.
If you have a network/host object
named West and the device
already has a TCP service object
group named West, the name of
the object group is changed to
West_1 when deployed.
You have already created a
network/host object group with
the same name.
A numeric suffix is added to the
name, starting from 1.
If you have a network/host object
and a port list or service object
that are both named West, the
network/host object is deployed
as West and the port list is
deployed as West_1.
