Address Objects
Address Objects are one of four object classes (Address, User,
Service, and Schedule) in SonicOS Enhanced. Once you
define an Address Object, it becomes available for use
wherever applicable throughout the SonicOS management
interface. For example, consider an internal Web server with an
IP address of 67.115.118.80.
Rather than repeatedly typing in the IP address when
constructing Access Rules or NAT policies, you can create an
Address Object to store the Web server’s IP address. This
Address Object, “My Web Server,” can then be used in any
configuration screen that employs Address Objects as a
defining criterion.
Available Address Object types include the following:
•
Host –
Define a single host by its IP address.
•
Range –
Define a range of contiguous IP addresses.
•
Network –
Network Address Objects are like Range
objects in that they comprise multiple hosts, but rather than
being bound by specified upper and lower range delimiters,
the boundaries are defined by a valid netmask.
•
MAC Address –
Allows for the identification of a host by its
hardware address.
•
FQDN Address –
Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN)
Address Objects allow for the identification of a host by its
domain name, such as www.sonicwall.com.
