Work with IP Address Groups

Work with IP Address Groups panel

How to Get There

From the Exit Point Manager Main Menu, select option 5 to display the Work with IP Address Groups panel.

What it Does

The Work with IP Address Groups panel is used when a number of IP addresses need the same group filter rules applied. To add a new Address Group, enter the information on the blank line below the column headings. Once an Address Group is created a range of IP addresses may be associated to it. Option 5 displays a list of IP addresses associated to the group. Type an option next to a specific group and press Enter. You can type option numbers next to more than one group at a time. This allows you to do more than one task at a time. If you see ‘More...’ in the lower right corner of your display, there is more information to be listed.

Press the Page Down (Roll Up) key to move toward the end of the Address Groups.
