A security rule object is a single object or collective unit that groups discrete identities such as IP addresses, fully-qualified domain names (FQDN), intelligent feeds, or certificates. Typically, when creating a policy object, you group objects that require similar permissions in policy. For example, if your organization uses a set of server IP addresses for authenticating users, you can group the set of server IP addresses as a prefix list object and reference that prefix list in one or more security rule. Group object allows you to significantly reduce the administrative overhead in creating rules.
An FQDN (for example, paloaltonetworks.com) object provides further ease of use because DNS provides the FQDN resolution to the IP addresses instead of you needing to know the IP addresses and manually updating them every time the FQDN resolves to a new IP addresses.
To configure a FQDN list, familiarize yourself with how rulestacks work.
  1. Click the Local Rulestacks icon from the homepage and select a previously-created rulestack on which you wish to configure the FQDN list.
  2. Click FQDN List on the left pane and click Add. The Add FQDN List pane opens.
  3. Enter a descriptive Name for your FQDN list.
  4. (optional) Enter a description for your FQDN list.
  5. Enter one or more FQDN, one per line.
  6. Click Add.
