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

3.1.3. Ethernet Addresses

This example adds a range of IP 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 > IP 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 Ethernet addresses (also known as
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.
Example 3.5. Adding an Ethernet Address
Address=192.168.10.16-192.168.10.21
