Excluding a Node

When you exclude a node, you block it from connecting to your network through the security appliance. Excluding a node creates an address object for that IP address and assigns it to the Node License Exclusion List address group.

To exclude a node:
1
Select the node you want to exclude in the Currently Licensed Nodes table on the System > Licenses page, and click the Edit icon in the Exclude column for that node.
2
A warning displays, saying that excluding this node will create an address object for it and place it in the License Exclusion List address group. Click OK to exclude the node.

You can manage the License Exclusion List group and address objects in the Network > Address Objects page of the management interface. Click the Node License Exclusion List link to jump to the Network > Address Objects page.
