name. To change the address name, you must delete the address entry and then add

the address again with a new name.

2 Select the interface list containing the address that you want to edit.

3 Choose an address to edit and select Edit Address .

4 Make the required changes and select OK to save the changes.

Deleting addresses

Deleting an address removes it from an address list. To delete an address that has

been added to a policy, you must first remove the address from the policy.

To delete an address

1 Go to Firewall > Address.

2 Select the interface list containing the address that you want to delete.

You can delete any address that has a Delete Address icon .

3 Choose an address to delete and select Delete .

4 Select OK to delete the address.

Organizing addresses into address groups

You can organize related addresses into address groups to make it easier to add

policies. For example, if you add three addresses and then add them to an address

group, you only have to add one policy using the address group rather than a separate

policy for each address.

You can add address groups to any interface. The address group can only contain

addresses from that interface. Address groups are available in interface source or

destination address lists.

Address groups cannot have the same names as individual addresses. If an address

group is included in a policy, it cannot be deleted unless it is first removed from the

policy.

To organize addresses into an address group

1 Go to Firewall > Address > Group.

2 Select the interface that you want to add the address group to.

3 Enter a Group Name to identify the address group.

The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and

the special characters - and _. Other special characters and spaces are not allowed.

4 To add addresses to the address group, select an address from the Available

Addresses list and select the right arrow to add it to the Members list.
