Use the Addresses page to create addresses that can be used across all devices managed by Security Director. Addresses are used in firewall, NAT, IPS, and VPN services and apply to corresponding SRX Series devices.
Once you create an address, you can combine it with other addresses to form an address group. Address groups are useful when you want to apply the same policy to multiple devices.
Read the topic.
Decide on the type of address object to define: Host, Range, Network, Wildcard, or DNS Host.
Review the addresses main page for an understanding of your current data set. See Addresses Main Page Fields for field descriptions.
Configuring Addresses and Address Groups
To create an address object:
A new address or address group with your configurations is created. You can use this object in policies. You can also assign it to a domain; see Assigning Policies and Profiles to Domains.
