SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Note Make sure the IP address you assign to the PortShield interface is within the WAN
subnetwork.
When you create a PortShield interface in Transparent Mode, you create a range of addresses
to be applied to the PortShield interface. You include these addresses in one entity called an
Address Object. Address Objects allow for entities to be defined one time and to be re-used in
multiple referential instances throughout the SonicOS interface. When you create a PortShield
interface using an address object, all ports mapped to the interface are identified by any of the
addresses specified in the address range.
Note Each statically addressed PortShield interface must be on a unique subnetwork. You can
not overlap PortShield interfaces across multiple subnetworks.
