Which statement about address lists is true in RouterOS?

• A. They group IP addresses for easier management in firewall rules and other features.
• B. They are used to create DNS zones.
• C. They store user passwords.
• D. They configure interface speeds.

Answer: (A)

Address lists in RouterOS let you group IP addresses and networks under a single name so you can manage them together. This is powerful because firewall rules and other features can reference the whole list at once, rather than needing a separate rule for every IP. You add individual addresses or subnets to a named list, and then rules can match traffic based on that list (for example, using a source-address-list or destination-address-list). This makes it easy to implement broad blocks or allowlists, dynamic IP sets, or country/region filtering, and to update policies simply by updating the list rather than rewriting many rules. DNS zones, storing user passwords, or configuring interface speeds are not handled by address lists, since those functions live in DNS settings, user accounts, and interface configuration, respectively.
