such as IP addresses, ports, or protocols.

Why should I use an object-group?

Object-groups improve the organization and readability of a firewall running
configuration. A running configuration that is easy to read and modify reduces
the chances for misconfiguration and increases your ability to troubleshoot
issues quickly.

Firewall Manager v2 refers to object-groups as IP groups. You can view, create,
modify, and delete any object-group on your firewall. For more information, see

Delete an object-group

1. Log in to the MyRackspace Portal by using your
   username and password.

2. In the top navigation bar, click Select a Product > Rackspace Dedicated.

3. Select Network > Firewall Manager v2.

4. In the navigation pane on the left side of the panel, click the firewall for
   which you want to see object-groups.

5. Under Rules in the navigation pane, click IP Groups.

   

6. Scroll through or search the object-group list and click the object-group that
   you want to delete.

7. Click Delete Group to make a request to remove the object-group.

8. Enter any additional information in the text box and click Submit Ticket.

   

The ticket generates requesting manual removal of the object-group and deletion
of any configuration items that reference the group, such as access lists, VPN
encryption domains, or even other object-groups. The ticket automatically
forwards to the appropriate Rackspace Network Security team, and a team member
performs quality checks and contacts you if anything appears to be incorrect.
