Add a Network Object

In Cisco Secure Access, a Network Object represents a network resource—a single IPv4 address, IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR block, range of IPv4 addresses, wildcard mask, or fully-qualified domain name (FQDN).

You can add a Network Object individually in Secure Access or import comma-separated values (CSV) files of network objects. For information about importing network objects in Secure Access, see Import CSV File of Network Objects.

You can include Network Objects in Network Object Groups. For information about Network Object Groups, see Add a Network Object Group.
