Figure 7: Adding an internal address
Edit an address to change its IP address and netmask. You cannot edit the address
name. To change the address name, you must delete the address entry and then add
the address again with a new name.
1 Go to Firewall > Address.
2 Select the interface list containing the address that you want to edit.
3 Choose an address to edit and select Edit Address
4 Make the required changes and select OK to save your changes.
Deleting an address removes it from an address list. To delete an address that has
been added to a policy, you must first remove the address from the policy.
1 Go to Firewall > Address.
2 Select the interface list containing the address that you want to delete.
You can delete any listed address that has a Delete Address icon
3 Choose an address to delete and select Delete
4 Select OK to delete the address.
You can organize related addresses into address groups to make it easier to add
policies. For example, if you add three addresses and then add them to an address
group, you only have to add one policy using the address group rather than a separate
policy for each address.
You can add address groups to any interface. The address group can only contain
addresses from that interface. Address groups are available in interface source or
destination address lists.
Address groups cannot have the same names as individual addresses. If an address
group is included in a policy, it cannot be deleted unless it is first removed from the
policy.
1 Go to Firewall > Address > Group.
