object is named by combining the interface name with the suffix "_net" and this is the network to
which the interface belongs.
Tip: Creating address book folders
New folders can be created when needed and provide a convenient way to group
together related IP address objects. The folder name can be chosen to indicate the
folder's contents.
Now click the Add button at the top left of the list and choose the IP4 Address option to add a
new address to the folder.
Enter the details of the object into the properties fields for the IP4 Address object. Below, the IPv4
address 10.5.4.1 has been entered for the address object called wan_gw. This is the IP of the ISP's
router which acts as the gateway to the public Internet.
Click the OK button to save the values entered.
Then set up G2_ip to be 10.5.4.35. This is the IPv4 address of the G2 interface which will connect
to the ISP's gateway.
Lastly, set the IP4 Address object G2_net to be 10.5.4.0/24. Both G2_ip and wan_gw must belong
to this network in order for the interface to communicate with the ISP.
Together, these three IPv4 address objects will be used to configure the interface connected to
the Internet which in this example is G2. Select Network > Interfaces and VPN > Ethernet to
display a list of the physical interfaces. The first lines of the interface list for the X8 are shown
below.
