Adding addresses

To add an address

1 Go to Firewall > Address.

2 Select the interface that you want to add the address to.

3 Select New to add a new address.

4 Enter an Address Name to identify the address.

The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and

the special characters - and _. Spaces and other special characters are not allowed.

5 Enter the IP Address.

The IP address can be:

• The IP address of a single computer (for example, 192.45.46.45).

• The IP address of a subnetwork (for example, 192.168.1.0 for a class C subnet).

• 0.0.0.0 to represent all possible IP addresses

6 Enter the Netmask.

The netmask corresponds to the type of address that you are adding. For example:

• The netmask for the IP address of a single computer should be 255.255.255.255.

• The netmask for a class A subnet should be 255.0.0.0.

• The netmask for a class B subnet should be 255.255.0.0.

• The netmask for a class C subnet should be 255.255.255.0.

• The netmask for all addresses should be 0.0.0.0

7 Select OK to add the address.
