FPCNetworkRule

The FPCNetworkRule object represents a single ISA Server network rule. Network rules define routing or network address translation (NAT) relationships between specific network entities.

A network entity can represent a single IP address or multiple IP addresses. The sets of all the source and destination IP addresses in the network entities to which a network rule applies are specified through FPCSelectionIPs objects. The following table lists the network entities that can be referenced in the source and destination FPCSelectionIPs objects of a network rule and the objects that represent a single instance of each network entity.

Network Entity	Object
Address range	FPCAddressRange
Computer	FPCComputer
Computer set	FPCComputerSet
Network	FPCNetwork
Network set	FPCNetworkSet
Subnet	FPCSubnet

When no network rule defines a network relationship between two IP addresses, ISA Server drops all traffic sent from one of these IP addresses to the other.

The FPCNetworkRule object is typically an element of an FPCNetworkRules collection.

Inheritance

This object inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to the persistent storage of an object's data. They include methods for exporting the object's data to and importing it from an XML document.

Methods

This object has no methods.

Properties

The FPCNetworkRule object has the following properties.

Property	Description
Description	Gets or sets the description of the rule.
DestinationSelectionIPs	Gets an FPCSelectionIPs object that specifies the complete set of destination IP addresses to which the rule applies.
Enabled	Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the rule is enabled.
Name	Gets or sets the name of the rule.
Order	Gets the position of the rule in the list of network rules corresponding to their order of application.
Predefined	Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the network rule is a preinstalled rule that cannot be deleted and whose position in the list of network rules corresponding to their order of application cannot be changed.
RoutingType	Gets or sets a value from the FpcNetworkRoutingTypes enumerated type that specifies the type of relationship between the source and destination network entities to which the rule applies.
SourceSelectionIPs	Gets an FPCSelectionIPs object that specifies the complete set of source IP addresses to which the rule applies.

Methods Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
CancelWaitForChanges	Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport	Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the object's properties can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask	Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties	Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh	Recursively reads the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save	Recursively writes the current values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges	Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
PersistentName	Gets the persistent name of the object. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParametersSets	Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the object.

Remarks

This object implements the IFPCNetworkRule interface.
