Defining an Object Address

1. In the Define Object Address page, click on the Object Type drop-down menu and select an object type. The four object types are:

   • IP Address – A single IP address.
   • IP Network – A range of IP addresses, defined by a starting address and a subnet mask.
   • IPV6 Address – A single IPv6 address.
   • IPV6 Network – A range of IPv6 addresses.

2. Type in the appropriate information pertaining to the object type you have selected.

   • For the IP Address object type, type an IP address in the IP Address field.
   • For the IP Network object type, in the Network Address field, type an IP Address that resides in the desired network subnet and type a subnet mask in the Subnet Mask field. In the Port Range/Port Number field, optionally enter a port range in the format 80-443, or enter a single port number.
   • For the IPV6 Address object type, type an IP address in the IPv6 Address field.

   • For the IPV6 Network object type, in the IPv6 Network Address field, type an IPv6 address that resides in the desired network subnet and type the number of bits to use as a prefix in the Prefix field.

     

3. When finished adding addresses, click Add in the Define Network Object dialog box.
