#### Creating Objects

To create an object, follow these steps:

1\. Go to **Traffic Rules -&gt; Objects** and click on (**+**) in the upper right corner of the screen.

2\. Select the type, name, and value of the object. Optionally, you can specify an arbitrary comment no longer than 128 characters

3\. Click on **Save**.

Objects like **IP address** and **Port** can be created directly when creating firewall rules by entering a required IP address or port in the corresponding fields.
