Configuration → Network → Network groups

Function

Creating groups with "speaking" names for ranges of IP addresses (Layer 3). A network

group always contains a range of IP addresses with specified subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24).

A network group can contain a set of single IP addresses and complete IP address ranges.

Network groups can be used instead of IP address ranges if you will create firewall filtering

rules (See menu Configuration → Packet filters → Layer 3). To add several IP address

(ranges) to a group insert the same group name.

Group name

The group name for which a network should be added. It may contain let-

ters and digits. If the given group does not exist, it will be created automat-

ically.

Hint: Click on an existing group name will fill the empty text field.

Network ad-

dress

Network address using format ‘IP/network mask’ (CIDR) e.g.

192.168.0.0/24 – to be added to a given group. These groups can be re-

ferred to by other services like filter rules e.g.

Caution: Filter rules, that use a rule with a recently modified group, will not

be updated until <Apply settings> is triggered (or <Save settings> respec-

tively)
