For example “My Access Point” with a MAC address of “00:06:01:AB:02:CD”. MAC addresses are 48-bit values that are expressed in 6 byte hex-notation. MAC addresses are uniquely assigned to every piece of wired or wireless networking device by their hardware manufacturers, and are intended to be immutable. MAC Address – MAC Address Objects allow for the identification of a host by its hardware address or MAC (Media Access Control) address.As a general rule, the first address in a network (the network address) and the last address in a network (the broadcast address) are unusable.
Network Address Objects must be defined by the network’s address and a corresponding netmask. Network – Network Address Objects are like Range objects in that they comprise multiple hosts, but rather than being bound by specified upper and lower range delimiters, the boundaries are defined by a valid netmask.All 25 individual host addresses in this range would be comprised by this Range Address Object. For example “My Public Servers” with an IP address starting value of “67.115.118.66” and an ending value of “67.115.118.90”. No netmask is associated with Range Address Objects, but internal logic generally treats each member of the specified range as a 32-bit masked Host object. Range – Range Address Objects define a range of contiguous IP addresses.The netmask for a Host Address Object will automatically be set to 32-bit (255.255.255.255) to identify it as a single host. Host – Host Address Objects define a single host by its IP address.Since there are multiple types of network address expressions, there are currently the following Address Objects types: This Address Object, “My Web Server” can then be easily and efficiently selected from a drop-down menu in any configuration screen that employs Address Objects as a defining criterion. Rather than repeatedly typing in the IP address when constructing Access Rules or NAT Policies, Address Objects allow you to create a single entity called “My Web Server” as a Host Address Object with an IP address of 67.115.118.80. For example, take an internal Web-Server with an IP address of 67.115.118.80. These Address Objects allow for entities to be defined one time, and to be re-used in multiple referential instances throughout the SonicOS interface. Address Objects are one of four object classes (Address, User, Service, and Schedule) in SonicOS.
