Manage IP Address Groups

You can combine individual IP addresses into IP address groups. The following sections
provide information about managing IP address groups:
• IP Address Groups Overview
• Add an IP Address Group
• Change an IP Address Group
• Remove One or More IP Address Groups
IP Address Groups Overview
An IP address group, or just IP group, contains a collection of individual IP addresses that do
not need to be within the same IP address range. You specify an IP group as either a LAN
group or WAN group and use the group as a firewall object to which you apply a firewall rule.
An example of how you can use an IP group is as follows:
In a configuration with 10 web servers, each of which requires the same three port-forwarding
rules, you can create a service group for the port-forwarding rules (see
Groups on page 286) and an IP group for the web servers, and then create only one firewall
rule.
Add an IP Address Group
The following procedure describes how to add an IP group that you then can use as an object
for a firewall rule.

To add an IP group:
1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter the IP address that was assigned to the VPN
firewall during the installation process.
The VPN firewall factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

3. In the Username field, type your user name and in the Password / Passcode field, type
your password.
