Address

The FIREWALL VPN ROUTER Office Firewall allows the Administrator to set
Interface addresses of the Internal network, Internal network group, External
network, External network group, DMZ and DMZ group.
What is the Address Table?
An IP address in the Address Table can be an address of a computer or a
sub network. The Administrator can assign an easily recognized name to an
IP address. Based on the network it belongs to, an IP address can be an
internal IP address, external IP address or DMZ IP address. If the
Administrator needs to create a control policy for packets of different IP
addresses, he can first add a new group in the Internal Network Group or
the External Network Group and assign those IP addresses into the newly
created group. Using group addresses can greatly simplify the process of
building control policies.
With easily recognized names of IP addresses and names of address groups
shown in the address table, the Administrator can use these names as the
source address or destination address of control policies. The address table
should be built before creating control policies, so that the Administrator can
pick the names of correct IP addresses from the address table when setting
up control policies.
