Configuring aliases for IP addresses and network address

Address alias

You must create aliases for your users and your network so that you can identify users and the network when configuring the filter rules.

Go to the following menu to create aliases:

  1. Go to Firewall -> Addresses -> Address List -> New.

Firewall -> Addresses -> Address List-> New

Proceed as follows to set up an alias for the administrator:

  1. Enter the name of the alias under Description, e.g. Administrator .

  2. Under Address Typeselect Address / Subnet

  3. Under Address / Subnet enter the IP address and corresponding subnet mask,e.g. 192.168.0.2 and 255.255.255.255 .

  4. Confirm with OK.

Proceed in the same way as for configuring the aliases for the director ( Director ) for your gateway ( be.IP ) and for the network ( Network Internal ).

Proceed as follows to set up an alias for the director:

  1. Enter the name of the alias under Description, e.g. Director .

  2. Under Address Typeselect Address / Subnet

  3. Under Address / Subnet enter the IP address and corresponding subnet mask,e.g. 192.168.0.3 and 255.255.255.255 .

  4. Confirm with OK.

Proceed as follows to set up an alias for your gateway:

  1. Enter the name of the alias under Description, e.g. be.IP .

  2. Under Address Typeselect Address / Subnet

  3. Under Address / Subnet enter the IP address and corresponding subnet mask,e.g. 192.168.0.254 and 255.255.255.255 .

  4. Confirm with OK.

Proceed as follows to set up an alias for the internal network:

  1. Enter the name of the alias under Description, e.g. Network Internal .

  2. Under Address Typeselect Address / Subnet

  3. Under Address / Subnet enter the IP address and corresponding subnet mask,e.g. 192.168.0.0 and 255.255.255.0 .

  4. Confirm with OK.

Address groups

You can group together several aliases into groups to make it easier to configure the filter rules.

Since the administrator and the director can access the gateway over HTTP and Telnet, these are grouped together.

Go to the following menu to create a group:

  1. Go to Firewall -> Addresses -> Groups-> New.

Firewall -> Addresses ->Groups -> New

Proceed as follows to create a group:

  1. Enter the name of the group under Description, e.g. Administration_be.IP .

  2. Select the Addresses to be included in the group, in this example Administrator and Director .

  3. Confirm with OK.
