Notation for the source IP address (advanced firewall mode)
If you specify an address range for the source IP address in the advanced firewall settings of
the CP, make sure that the notation is correct:
●
Separate the two IP addresses only using a hyphen.
Correct: 192.168.10.0-192.168.10.255
●
Do not enter any other characters between the two IP addresses.
Incorrect: 192.168.10.0 - 192.168.10.255
If you enter the range incorrectly, the firewall rule will not be used.
