Address objects and address groups are used in dynamic routes, security policies, 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.

screen, click Configuration > Object > Address > Address. Click a column's heading cell to sort
the table entries by that column's criteria. Click the heading cell again to reverse the sort order.
