Chapter 8. Network Configuration

Upper Limit

DNS Name Or IP Address

Here, enter the last DNS name/IP address of the network or group. For computers in an IP range that you want to give a network name, enter the last IP address in the seriesrange. The IP address in Upper Limit must be at least as high as the one in Lower Limit. If this field is left empty, only the IP address in Lower Limit is used. If you use a subgroup, leave this field empty.

IP address

The IP address of the object you entered in the DNS Name Or IP Address field is displayed here. This field is not updated until you click on Look up all IP addresses again or make changes in the DNS Name Or IP Address field.

Interface/VLAN

Here, you can select an interface or a VLAN to restrict the IP range.

If ’-’ is chosen, the group will consist of all IP addresses in the interval between Lower Limit and Upper Limit, regardless of what interface they are connected to. By selecting an interface or a VLAN, you constrain the group to consist only of the IP addresses in the interval that really are connected to the selected interface/VLAN.

For example, if 10.20.0.0 - 10.20.0.255 are IP addresses behind the interface DMZ-1 and the lower and upper limits are 10.10.10.20 and 255.255.255.255 respectively, choosing DMZ-1 as Interface will cause the group to consist of the IP addresses 10.20.0.0 - 10.20.0.255, being the IP addresses in the interval actually connected to the selected interface.

If you have selected a subgroup, the Interface/VLAN should be ’-’. If you want to define a network group at the remote side of a VPN connection, the Interface/VLAN should be ’-’.
