Addresses

Use address objects to define sources and destinations of network traffic.

The following types of address objects are supported in Container FortiOS:

• Subnet: ipmask

• IP range: iprange

• FQDN: fqdn

Use address groups to collect multiple addresses into a single object.

For more information about addresses and address groups, see Address objects in the FortiOS Administration Guide.

Examples

To create an address in the CLI:

config firewall address
    edit "new-address"
        set type ipmask
        set subnet "192.168.100.100 255.255.255.255"
    next
end

To create an address with the REST API:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{ "data":{
    "name": "new-address", 
    "type": "ipmask",
    "subnet": "192.168.100.100 255.255.255.255"
}}' http://localhost/api/v2/cmdb/config/firewall/address
