For example, to add a description of "Manager's IP" to an address book entry, complete the following steps:

1. Configure the address-book entry in the security zone as usual.

root# set address-book address manager-ip 10.2.2.2


2. To add the description, enter the address-book hierarchy, and then use the keyword annotate.


[edit security zones security-zone trust]
root# edit address-book

[edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
root# annotate address manager-ip "IP belongs to manager"

[edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
root# show
/* IP belongs to manager*/
address manager-ip 10.2.2.2/32;


3. Other address can also be added. To verify the overall display:


[edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
root# set address ordinary 10.1.1.1

[edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
root# annotate address ordinary "Test ip"

[edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
root# show
/* IP belongs to manager*/
address manager-ip 10.2.2.2/32;
/* Test ip */
address ordinary 10.1.1.1/32;
