Chapter 4 Address

In Address, the IT administrator may configure network settings of LAN, WAN

and DMZ, as well as designate specific addresses in a network as a group.

An IP address might represent a host or a subnet, in either case, the IT

administrator may give it an easily identifiable name for better management.

According to the network in which an IP address resides, it can be categorized into

three kinds, namely, a LAN IP address, WAN IP address or DMZ IP address. Each of

the three can be organized into an address group comprising several addresses.

Simply by applying the address group to a policy, the IT administrator may easily

manage a group of users with merely one policy.

Note:

1. It is recommended to configure some desirable address names within Address first so that

they are ready to use for the Source Address or Destination Address setting of a policy.
