An address object is a representation of a component of your network, such as a
workstation, router, switch, subnetwork, or any other object that is connected to your
network. You use address objects in NSM to specify the network components you want
to protect:
Firewall and IDP Rules—Use address objects or groups to specify the source and
destination of network traffic
Multicast Rules—Use multicast group address objects to specify the destination of
multicast traffic.
VPNs—Use address objects or groups to create Protected Resources for your
Policy-Based and Mixed-Mode VPNs.
