Host/Net aliases

Top  Previous  Next

A Host/Net alias is a name for a single IP address (Host), for a network range or for a FQDN.

 

You can define as many aliases as you want. A single alias contains the following elements:

Name: Choose a name for the host you will recognize again.
IP/network address/FQDN: A single IP address, a network address or a FQDN. A network address must be entered in CIDR notation (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24).
MAC address: MAC address should only be used in special situations (e.g. providers who want to bind the rules to special MAC addresses of their clients).
