Check Point created objects not available for reuse

[Antonio_Martins]

When we are setting up our gateway or cluster, there are some network objects that are automatically created. Some of this objects are not are available for reuse in objects pane. This leads to some situations where we are creating one network and we receive a SmartConsole alert message 'More than one network has the same IP ......  Do you wish to save the changes anyway?'.

Why are this objects hidden and unavailable for reuse?

These objects are created when you create a gateway and collect the interface data with topology. All static routes you create on the gateway before you add the gateway to the SmartConsole will be added as new 'hidden' networks, so are the networks that are represented by each interface.

Those hidden networks can be used but in some places they are indeed hidden. To make sure you can see them everywhere there is this SK that you can look at to change the behavior.
