Configuring an Address Book

Policy > Object > Address Book

Address book is the database in the system that is used to store the mappings between IP ranges and the corresponding names. The mapping entry between an IP address and its name in the address book is known as an address entry. All address books contain a default address entry named Any. The IP address of Any is 0.0.0.0/0, i.e., any IP address.

In the Address Book page, you can perform the following actions:

Click New to create a new address entry.
Click Edit to edit the selected address entry.
Click Delete to delete the selected address entries.
Click LAN Address to specify the selected address as the LAN address.
Enter the keyword of the address book name in the search field. The system will display the address books whose name contains the key word in time.
