When importing from a previous configuration, the VPN and possibly other
modules do not function properly if default objects (like "Protected
Network") were changed (like to "Protected Networks"). I also noticed
the admin cannot manually edit the "hard coded" entries to correct for
the previously renamed objects.
Stupid question:
Can you just create new objects called "Protected Networks" etc that
contains the default object "Protected Network" ? This would let your
filters, etc, work without having to redesign how the default objects work
or reconfigure all of the filters etc. You'd only have to create 3 or so
new objects per firewall.
Right?
If I had to make a guess, I'd suspect that the old default objects such as
"Protected Network" were not designed to have their name
changed...changing the name would likely break their "default" nature (ie,
adding an alias network to the Protected interface would no longer
automaticly populate your "Protected Networks" object. The change was
made to prevent these objects from being renamed to keep this from
happening.
Just a guess.
