The new way of object menu (alphabetical order) in firewall edit rule

The new way of object menu (alphabetical order) in firewall edit rule does not make sense.

  • 4 items (IP, IP list, IP range, network) actually point you on the same page.
  • 2 items (MAC address, MAC list) actually point you on the same page

So you have 5 menus and 10 links to it – that is really confusing.

 

I would suggest 2 different solutions:

1) Add will not display submenu, but what it should “Object adding menu (below)”.

 

Object adding menu (after you click to Add button):

2) Resort the menu in the following order (instead of the alphabetical order the usability order) and fix the links:

IP

IP Network

IP range

IP list

IP groups

------

FQDN host

FQDN group

-----

MAC address

MAC list

-----

Country group
