Address - LevelOne FBR-2000 User Manual

Address

The Multi-Homing Gateway allows the Administrator to set Interface addresses of the Internal
network, Internal network group, WAN network, WAN 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, WAN 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 WAN 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.
