Objects > Addresses
An address object can include either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses
(a single IP address, a range of addresses, or a subnet), an FQDN,
or a wildcard address (IPv4 address followed by a slash and wildcard
mask). An address object allows you to reuse that same address or
group of addresses as a source or destination address in policy rules,
filters, and other firewall functions without adding each address
manually for each instance. You create an address object using the
web interface or CLI; changes require a commit operation to make
the object a part of the configuration.
First
Add
a new address object and then
specify the following values:Address Object Settings | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Enter a name (up to 63 characters) that
describes the addresses you will include as part of this object.
This name appears in the address list when defining security policy
rules. The name is case-sensitive, must be unique, and can contain
only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores. |
Shared | Select this option if you want to share
this address object with:
|
Disable override ( Panorama only ) | Select this option to prevent administrators
from overriding the settings of this address object in device groups
that inherit this object. By default, this selection is disabled,
which means administrators can override the settings for any device
group that inherits the object. |
Description | Enter a description for the object (up to
1,023 characters). |
Type | Specify the type of address object and the
entry:
|
Resolve | After selecting the address type and entering
an IP address or FQDN, click Resolve to see
the associated FQDN or IP addresses, respectively (based on the
DNS configuration of the firewall or Panorama).You can change
an address object from an FQDN to an IP Netmask or vice versa. To
change from an FQDN to an IP Netmask, click Resolve to
see the IP addresses that the FQDN resolves to, then select one
and Use this address . The address object
Type dynamically changes to IP Netmask and the IP address you selected
appears in the text field.Alternatively, to change an address
object from an IP Netmask to an FQDN, click Resolve to
see the DNS name that the IP Netmask resolves to, then select the
FQDN and Use this FQDN . The Type changes
to FQDN and the FQDN appears in the text field. |
Tags | Select or enter the tags that you want to
apply to this address object. You can define a tag here or use the Objects
> Tags tab to create new tags. |
