Adding addresses
All policies require source and destination addresses. To be able to add an address to a policy between two
interfaces, you must first add addresses to the address list for each interface. These addresses must be valid
addresses for the network connected to that interface.
By default the DFL-500 includes two addresses that cannot be edited or deleted:
·
Internal_All on the internal address list represents the IP addresses of all of the computers on your
internal network
·
External_All on the external address list represents the IP addresses of all of the computers on the
Internet
You can add, edit, and delete all other addresses as required.

Adding addresses
To add an address using the web-based manager:
·
Go to Firewall > Address .
·
Select the interface to which to add the address.
The list of addresses added to that interface is displayed.
·
Select New to add a new address to the selected interface.
·
Enter an Address Name to identify the address.
The name can contain numbers (0-9) and upper and lower case letters (A-Z, a-z), and the special
characters - and _. Spaces and other special characters are not allowed.
·
Add the IP Address.
The IP Address can be the IP address of a single computer (for example, 192.45.46.45) or the address of
a subnetwork (for example, 192.168.1.0).
The address must be a valid address for one of the networks or computers connected to the interface.
·
Add the NetMask.
The Netmask should correspond to the address. The Netmask for the IP address of a single computer
should be 255.255.255.255. The Netmask for a subnet should be 255.255.255.0.
·
Select OK to add the address.
