IP host

You can see a list of all dynamic hosts, default hosts, and manually added hosts.

You can add new hosts, and edit and delete existing hosts. You can add IP addresses to an IP host group.

You can create IP hosts using an IP address, IP address range or list, and a network. You can use these when you configure rules and policies.

The IP host page shows a list of the dynamic hosts that are automatically added when you create VPN remote access connections, manually added hosts, and default hosts used for remote access connections: ##WWAN1, ##ALL_SSLVPN_RW, ##ALL_IPSEC_RW, and ##ALL_RW.
