The following table describes the configurable IPv4 address, IPv6 address, and FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) object parameters.

Address Object Parameters

Parameter
Description
Object name
Specify a name that describes the object. This name appears in the address list when defining security policies. The name is case-sensitive and must be unique. Use only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.
Type
Specify one of the following address types:
  • IPv4
  • IPv6
  • FQDN
For objects used in Bridge Mode and Software Switch deployments, you can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Additionally, FQDNs can resolve to either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
For objects used in Routing Mode deployments, you can configure IPv4 addresses and FQDNs must resolve to IPv4 addresses.
Addresses
IPv4 Address:
Specify the IP address or network using the following notation:
  • ip_address
  • ip_address_range
  • ip_address/bitmask
Example: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.10 or 192.168.80.0/24
IPv6 address
Specify the IPv6 address or network using the following notation:
  • ipv6_address
  • ipv6_address_range
  • ipv6_address/bitmask (IPv6 CIDR)
Example:
2001:db8:123:1::1 or 2001:db8:123:1::1-2001:db8:123:1::10 or 2001:db8:123:1::/64
FQDN
Specify an FQDN using the following notation:
  • [domain].[tld]
  • [hostname].[domain].[tld]
Note
Note
FQDN objects support usage of the wildcard character (*) for fuzzy match. Be aware to only use the wildcard at the beginning of an FQDN, rather than in the middle or at the end of an FQDN.
Example:
  • Exact FQDN: example.com, or host.example.com
  • Wildcard FQDN: *.com, *example.com, or *.example.com
Note
Note
Use the FQDN object type only when configuring policy rules to match source/destination connections.
