address ip-address: Specifies an IPv4 host address.
name host-name: Specifies a host name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 60 characters.
subnet ip-address { mask-length | mask }: Configures an IPv4 address object with the subnet
address followed by a mask length in the range of 0 to 32 or a mask in dotted decimal notation.
range ip-address1 ip-address2: Configures an IPv4 address object with the address range.
group-object object-group-name: Specifies an IPv4 address object group by its name, a
case-insensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.
Usage guidelines
This command fails if you use it to configure or change an IPv4 address object to be identical with an
existing object.
This command creates an IPv4 address object if the specified object ID does not exist. Otherwise,
the command overwrites the configuration of the specified object.
If you configure a subnet with the mask length of 32 or the mask of 255.255.255.255, the system
configures the object with a host address.
When you use the range ip-address1 ip-address2 option, follow these guidelines:
•
If ip-address1 is equal to ip-address2, the system configures the object with a host address.
•
If ip-address1 is not equal to ip-address2, the system compares the two IPv4 addresses,
configures a range starting with the lower IPv4 address, and performs the following operations:
Configures the object with an address range if the two addresses are in different subnets.

Configures the object with a subnet address if the two addresses are in the same subnet.

When you use the group-object object-group-name option, follow these guidelines:
•
The object group to be used must be an IPv4 address object group.
•
If the specified object group does not exist, the system creates an IPv4 address object group
with the name you specified and uses the object group for the object.
•
Two object groups cannot use each other at the same time.
•
The system supports a maximum of five object group hierarchy layers. For example, if groups 1,
2, 3, and 4 use groups 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, group 5 cannot use another group and group
1 cannot be used by another group.
