    Select a firewall from your
    Folders
    or select
    Snippets
    to configure the Layer 3 interface in a snippet.
    If you select a folder or select a snippet, you create a Layer 3 interface variable that must be assigned at the device level.

      1. Enter the
        Hostname
        or select the default
        system-hostname

        10
        ; range is
        1
        -
