1Go to Firewall > Address.

2Select the interface list containing the address that you want to edit.

3Choose an address to edit and select Edit Address .

4Make the required changes and select OK to save the changes.

Deleting addresses

Deleting an address removes it from an address list. To delete an address that has been added to a policy, you must first remove the address from the policy.

To delete an address

1Go to Firewall > Address.

2Select the interface list containing the address that you want to delete. You can delete any address that has a Delete Address icon .

3Choose an address to delete and select Delete .

4Select OK to delete the address.

Organizing addresses into address groups

You can organize related addresses into address groups to make it easier to add policies. For example, if you add three addresses and then add them to an address group, you only have to add one policy using the address group rather than a separate policy for each address.

You can add address groups to any interface. The address group can only contain addresses from that interface. Address groups are available in interface source or destination address lists.

Address groups cannot have the same names as individual addresses. If an address group is included in a policy, it cannot be deleted unless it is first removed from the policy.

To organize addresses into an address group

1Go to Firewall > Address > Group.

2Select the interface that you want to add the address group to.

3Enter a Group Name to identify the address group.

The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and the special characters - and _. Other special characters and spaces are not allowed.

4To add addresses to the address group, select an address from the Available Addresses list and select the right arrow to add it to the Members list.
