client , and so on.

Address Object An address object represents a component of your network, such as a workstation, router,
switch, subnetwork, or any other object that is connected to your network. Use address book
objects to specify the network components you want to protect.
Address Shifting A mechanism for creating a one-to-one mapping between any original address in one range
of addresses and a specific translated address in a different range.
Address Spoofing Address Spoofing is a technique for creating packets with a source IP address that is not the
actual interface address. Attackers may use spoofed IP address to perform DDoS attacks
while disguising their true address, or to take advantage of a trusted relationship between two
hosts. To guard against spoofing attacks, configure a security device to check its own route
table. If the IP address is not in the route table, the security device denies the traffic.
