Create lists of IP addresses for use in multiple firewall rules. A single list is easier to manage than several identical lists that are each defined in a different rule.
To create an IP list that is similar to an existing one, duplicate the list and then edit it.
You can enter an individual IP address or IP ranges and masked IPs. You can also insert comments into your IP list by preceding the text with a number sign ( # ).
Masked IP examples are 192.168.0/24, 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0, and for IPv6 it is 2001:0DB8::CD30:0:0:0:0/60. IP range examples are 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.125 and, for IPv6 it is FF01::101 - FF01::102

  1. Click Policies → Common Objects → Lists → IP Lists.

  3. Type a name and, optionally, a description.
  4. In the IP(s) list, add the IP addresses, masked IP addresses, or IP ranges (one per line).
