Chapter 6: Policy Object
6.1 Address
MH-2001 allows the Administrator to set addresses of the LAN network, LAN network group, WAN network,
WAN group, DMZ network and DMZ group. These settings are to be used for policy editing.
What is the Address Table?
An IP address in the Address Table can be an address of a computer or a sub network. The Administrator can
assign an easily recognized name to an IP address. Based on the network it belongs to, an IP address can be
LAN IP address, WAN IP address and DMZ IP address. If the Administrator needs to create a control policy
for packets of different IP addresses, he can first add a new group in the LAN Network Group or the WAN
Network Group and assign those IP addresses into the newly created group. Using group addresses can
greatly simplify the process of building control policies.
How to use Address Table
With easily recognized names of IP addresses and names of address groups shown in the address table, the
Administrator can use these names as the source address or destination address of control policies. The
address table should be built before creating control policies, so that the Administrator can pick the names of
correct IP addresses from the address table when setting up control policies.
