Unassociated objects

An unassociated object is not associated with any rule or policy. When you use an unassociated object in a rule or policy, Security Cloud Control Firewall Management creates and uses a copy of that object. The original unassociated object remains available until a nightly maintenance job deletes it or you delete it manually.

Security Cloud Control Firewall Management keeps unassociated objects as a copy so that configuration data is not lost if the related rule or policy is deleted accidentally.

To view unassociated objects, choose Objects > , and check Unassociated.
