Ethernet Addresses; Adding An Ip Range; Deleting An Address Object - D-Link DFL-260E User Manual

3.1.3. Ethernet Addresses

Example 3.3. Adding an IP Range
This example adds a range of IPv4 addresses from 192.168.10.16 to 192.168.10.21 and names the range
wwwservers:
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> add Address IP4Address wwwservers
Web Interface
1. Go to: Objects > Address Book > Add > IP4 Address
2. Specify a suitable name for the IP Range, for example wwwservers.
3. Enter 192.168.10.16-192.168.10.21 as the IP Address
4. Click OK
Example 3.4. Deleting an Address Object
To delete an object named wwwsrv1 in the address book, do the following:
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> delete Address IP4Address wwwsrv1
Web Interface
1. Go to: Objects > Address Book
2. Select the address object wwwsrv1
3. Choose Delete from the menu
4. Click OK
Deleting In-use IP Objects
If an IP object is deleted that is in use by another object then NetDefendOS will not allow the
configuration to be deployed and will produce a warning message. In other words, it will appear that
the object has been successfully deleted but NetDefendOS will not allow the configuration to be
saved to the NetDefend Firewall.
3.1.3. Ethernet Addresses
Ethernet Address objects are used to define symbolic names for MAC addresses. This is useful, for
example, when populating the ARP table with static ARP entries or for other parts of the
configuration where symbolic names are preferred over numerical Ethernet addresses.
When specifying an Ethernet address the format aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff should be used. Ethernet
addresses are also displayed using this format.
