What type of object is created to configure a VPN host when implementing a Site-to-Site VPN?

When configuring a Site-to-Site VPN on a SonicWall Firewall, a Network Address Object is created to represent the subnet or IP range at the remote site that will be communicating over the VPN. This object defines the network that the local site will connect to through the established VPN tunnel. By specifying the remote network using a Network Address Object, the firewall can efficiently route traffic destined for that particular IP range through the VPN.

Using a Network Address Object is crucial as it accurately identifies the traffic that will traverse the VPN and ensures proper encapsulation and encryption of packets intended for the remote network destination. Each firewall relies on these objects to recognize and enforce policies related to network traffic between sites.

In contrast, other objects such as IP Address Objects are typically used for single hosts rather than entire networks, Service Objects define specific applications or protocols, and Virtual Address Objects represent addresses on a particular interface but do not specifically cater to the broader requirements of VPN configurations like the Network Address Object does.
