IPGROUP statement

Use the optional IPGROUP Client Identifier statement to define a group of IP addresses. The group name can be used on several mapping statements.

Syntax


                           .--------------------------------------.               
                           V                                      |               
>>-IPGROUP--ip_group_name----+-ip_addr--------------------------+-+--ENDIPGROUP-><

                             +-ipv6_subnet/prefix_len-----------+                 
                             '-ip_range1..ip_range2-------------'

Parameters

ip_group_name: The group name (up to 16 characters) that contains the Client IP addresses or subnets.
ipv4_subnet_mask:ipv4_subnet: An IPv4 format subnet. The ipv4_subnet_mask is a bit mask (expressed in dotted-decimal form) defining the subnetwork mask for a network route. The bits must be contiguous and start in the leftmost bit. The subnet_mask indicates the significant portion of the subnet. The subnet and an incoming IP address are each ANDed with the subnet_mask and then compared with each other to determine a match.
ipv6_subnet/prefix_len: An IPv6 format subnet. The prefix_len indicates how many significant bits there are starting from the leftmost bit. The subnet and an incoming IP address are each ANDed with the prefix_len number of bits and then compared with each other to determine a match.
ip_addr: The exact IP address of a particular client.
ip_range1..ip_range2: A range of IP addresses.
Restriction: Only the last octet of the IPv4 address and the last two hexadecimal bytes of the IPv6 address can be used as variables for the range.

Usage notes

Any given client IP address can only appear one time within all IP Groups. A given combination of IP subnet mask and IP subnet can only appear once within all IP groups.
The subnet and mask combination has no restrictions, including specific class address specifications.
