Addresses

This chapter describes how to set up addresses and address groups for the ZyWALL. See Section 5.5 on page 122 for related information on these screens.

35.1 Addresses Overview

Address objects can represent a single IP address or a range of IP addresses. Address groups are composed of address objects and other address groups.

Address objects and address groups are used in dynamic routes, firewall rules, application patrol, content filtering, and VPN connection policies. For example, addresses are used to specify where content restrictions apply in content filtering. Please see the respective sections for more information about how address objects and address groups are used in each one.

Address groups are composed of address objects and address groups. The sequence of members in the address group is not important.

35.2 Address Screens

The address screens are used to create, maintain, and remove addresses. There are the types of address objects.

•HOST - a host address is defined by an IP Address.

•RANGE - a range address is defined by a Starting IP Address and an Ending IP Address.

•SUBNET - a network address is defined by a Network IP address and Netmask subnet mask.
