Addresses
45.1  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. 
45.1.1  What You Can Do in this Chapter
• The Address screen (
) provides a summary of all addresses in the 
ISG50. Use the Address Add/Edit screen to create a new address or edit an existing one.
• Use  the  Address Group summary screen (
) and the Address Group 
Add/Edit screen, to maintain address groups in the ISG50.

Address objects and address groups are used in dynamic routes, firewall rules, and VPN connection 
policies. 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.
