Address
Firewall
An 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
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
An IP Range address represents:
• A range of IP addresses in a subnet (for example, 192.168.20.1 to 192.168.20.10)
