Addresses; Chapter 23 Addresses; Address Overview; Address Commands Summary - ZyXEL Communications UAG Series Cli Reference Manual

This chapter describes how to set up addresses and address groups for the UAG.

23.1 Address Overview

Address objects can represent a single IP address or a range of IP addresses. Address groups are
composed of address objects and other address groups.
You can create IP address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway. The UAG
automatically updates these objects whenever the interface's IP address settings change. This way
every rule or setting that uses the object uses the updated IP address settings. For example, if you
change the LAN1 interface's IP address, the UAG automatically updates the corresponding
interface-based, LAN1 subnet address object. So any configuration that uses the LAN1 subnet
address object is also updated.
Address objects and address groups are used in dynamic routes, firewall rules, 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.
