Public Address Group

A Public Address Group, also known as a PAG, is a collection of public IP addresses that are grouped together for specific purposes. These IP addresses are assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and are used to identify devices or networks on the internet.

Public Address Groups are commonly used in networking and security configurations to allow or restrict access to specific resources or services. By grouping public IP addresses together, organizations can manage and control access to their network resources more effectively.

For example, a company may create a Public Address Group to allow external access to their web servers. By assigning a range of public IP addresses to this group, they can ensure that only authorized users or devices can access their web servers from the internet.

Public Address Groups are often used in conjunction with firewalls, routers, and other network devices to enforce security policies and control traffic flow. They provide a way to organize and manage public IP addresses in a more efficient and secure manner.
