The initial step is to set up a number of IPv4 address objects in the cOS Core Address Book. Let us

assume for this section that the interface used for Internet connection is G2 and that the static

IPv4 address for this interface is to be 10.5.4.35, the ISP's gateway IPv4 address is 10.5.4.1, and the

network to which they both belong is 10.5.4.0/24.

Note: Private IPv4 addresses are used for example only

Each installation's IP addresses will be different from the IP addresses used here in the

examples. Also, the addresses used in the examples are private IPv4 addresses and in

reality an ISP would issue public IPv4 addresses for Internet access.

Now, add the gateway IP4 Address object using the address book name wan_gw and assign it the

IPv4 address 10.5.4.1. The ISP's gateway is the first router hop towards the public Internet from

the Clavister Security Gateway. Go to Objects > Address Book in the Web Interface.

The current contents of the address book will be listed and will contain a number of predefined

objects created by cOS Core after it scans the interfaces for the first time. The screenshot below

shows the initial address book for the E7.

Note: The all-nets address

The IPv4 address object all-nets is a wildcard address that should never be changed and

can be used in many types of cOS Core rules to refer to any IPv4 address or network

range.

For the E7, all the Ethernet interface related address objects are gathered together in an address

book folder called InterfaceAddresses. By clicking on this folder, it will be opened and the

individual address objects it contains can be viewed. The first few default addresses in the folder

are shown below.

On initial startup, two IPv4 address objects are created automatically for each interface detected

by cOS Core. One IPv4 address object is named by combining the physical interface name with

the suffix "_ip" and this is used for the IPv4 address assigned to that interface. The other address
