Working with Dynamic Address Objects
From its inception, SonicOS has used address objects to represent IP addresses in most areas throughout the user interface. For information about address object types, see Types of Address Objects.
SonicOS supports two types of dynamic address objects:
- MAC – SonicOS resolves MAC AOs to an IP address by referring to the ARP cache on the firewall.
- FQDN – Fully Qualified Domain Names, such as ‘www.reallybadWebsite.com’, are resolved to their IP address (or IP addresses) using the DNS servers configured on the firewall. Wildcard entries using ‘*’ are supported through the gleaning of responses to queries sent to the sanctioned DNS servers.
