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). |
