Key Features of Dynamic Address Objects
The term Dynamic Address Object (DAO) describes the underlying framework enabling MAC
and FQDN AOs. By transforming AOs from static to dynamic structures Firewall > Access
Rules can automatically respond to changes in the network.
Note Initially, SonicOS Enhanced versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 will only support Dynamic Address
Objects within Access Rules. Future versions of SonicOS Enhanced might introduce DAO
support to other subsystem, such as NAT, VPN, etc.
