Object Management

[Alexander_Baue1]

Hi together
Where can I find a Overview with explanation about all the Object and Objects Categories ?
As Example Network and or Networkgroup is clear, but was is.

And or as well about the Service Group and or Protocol ?
What is the different of the Service as Example

Best regards
Alexander

Explanation can be found in SmartConsole R80.20 Help by clicking the Question Mark (Title bar top right). But be aware that this is just explaining what the object / service is, but mostly does not give an account of why it is needed for which purpose.

For all objects that have no direct description, just use the help button:

Either way, having general TCP/IP knowledge is a demand for each Check Point firewall admin.

In that particular case you mentioned, its a Dynamic Object.

It's basically a placeholder where it's actual definition is done locally on the Security Gateway itself (either automatically for certain predefined objects or using the dynamic_objects CLI command).
