Location/Group; Select

Choose this Select button to open the Location/Group selection window where you can choose from a list of IP Address Groups.

Unlike most fields in Network Security, the Location field can be populated by manually typing into the field. You type an IP address, SNA device, or IP Address group manually. The following lists the syntax criteria for valid IP address values and other devices:

Must have 4 nodes separated by periods.
Each node can have a value between 0 and 255.
No Alpha characters allowed in the IP address other than “.” And “*”
Therefore The IP address cannot be more than 15 chars long including the three “.”
The wild card character “*” is allowed as the last character of an address, in which case the IP address can have fewer than 4 nodes. If using the “*” wild card then the node cannot have more than 3 characters.
- Valid IP addresses have to follow the following format where n=number: n.n.n.n n can be 1 digit, 2 digit or 3 digit numbers.
  - 192.168.1.1
  - 192.168.001.001
  - 192.000.000.000
- Invalid IP addresses
  - 923.4.1.1 (1923 > 255)
  - 192.0000.1.1 (0000 is a 4 digit number)
  - 192.168.R.3 (R is an invalid character for an IP address.)
- Valid IP addresses with wildcard
  - 192.*
  - 19*
  - 192.168.*
  - 192.168.1.*
  - 192.168.1.00*
- Invalid IP addresses with wildcard
  - 192* (too many characters in the first node.
  - 192.*.0.0 (No characters allowed after the “*”.
  - 192.*.* (No characters allowed after the first “*”.
- Others
  - *192.168.1.1 (Would be validated server side as a IP Address group name because the first character is a “*”)
  - Nameofdevice (Would be validated server side as a SNA device name because first character is alpha)
