  • Firewall policies
  • Link Load Balance policies
  • QoS policies
Basic Steps
  1. Create address objects.
  2. Specify them when you configure your policies.

Before you begin:

  • You must have read-write permission for system settings.

Syntax

config system address

edit <name>

set type {ip-netmask | ip-range}

set ip-netmask <ip&netmask>

set ip-min <class_ip>

set ip-max <class_ip>

next

end

type

  • ip-netmask: address block
  • ip-range: address range

ip-netmask

Specify a subnet using the address/mask notation.

ip-min

Specify the start of an address range.

ip-max

Specify the end of an address range.

Example

FortiADC-docs # config system address

FortiADC-docs (address) # edit TEST-NET-1

Add new entry 'TEST-NET-1' for node 3800

FortiADC-docs (TEST-NET-1) # get

type : ip-netmask

ip-netmask : 0.0.0.0/0

FortiADC-docs (TEST-NET-1) # set ip-netmask 192.0.2.0/24

FortiADC-docs (TEST-NET-1) # next

FortiADC-docs (address) # edit TEST-NET-2

Add new entry 'TEST-NET-2' for node 3800
