Hi, under Firewall, Address you can add and edit addresses. I remember that was possible to change name of the address scope even if address scope is in use by policy. Due some SOP I need to change dozen of those but I can' t with 4.2MR something :-). Any idea how to do this or why is deleted from features? Or I just do not remember well ... damir

    I' m running 4.2.8, and with selecting a used address entry, ' edit' , I can change it' s name in the ' Name' box. It' s not greyed out. In the CLI, use:
     conf fi address  rename gate to hell  // TO keyword needed here!
    If you have special characters (anything not ASCII) in the name, use ticks to delimit the whole name.

    That is 4.00 GA from April 2010. Strongly advised to upgrade to 4.2.8, build 328. As usual, read (all) the Release Notes in-between before upgrading. IMHO you can only gain with that upgrade.
