Using MAC and FQDN Dynamic Address Objects

Dynamic Address Objects (DAOs) of MAC and FQDN provide extensive access rule construction flexibility. DAOs of MAC and FQDN are configured in the same way as static address objects configured on the OBJECT | Match Objects > Addresses > Address Objects page. For more information, refer to Adding Address Objects. Once created, hover over the created address object to view the status. Log events record the addition and deletion of address objects.

Dynamic address objects lend themselves to many applications. The following are just a few examples of how they may be used.

 

• Blocking All Protocol Access to a Domain using FQDN DAOs
• Using an Internal DNS Server for FQDN-based Access Rules or Security Policies
• Controlling a Dynamic Host’s Network Access by MAC Address
• Bandwidth Managing Access to Entire Domain
