RF Domain Network Group Alias

A network group alias is a set of configurations consisting of host and network configurations. Network configurations are complete networks in the form of 192.168.10.0/24 or an IP address range in the form of 192.168.10.10-192.168.10.20. Host configurations are in the form of a single IP address, 192.168.10.23.

A network group alias can contain multiple definitions for a Host, Network, and IP address range. A maximum of eight (8) Host entries, eight (8) Network entries and eight (8) IP addresses range entries can be configured inside a network group alias. A maximum of 32 Network Group Alias entries can be created.

To edit or delete a network alias configuration:

1. Select Configuration > RF Domains from the Web UI.

   The RF Domain screen displays within the main portion of the Web UI, and the RF Domain Browser displays in the lower, left-hand portion of the Web UI.

2. From the RF Domain screen, either select the Add button or highlight an existing RF Domain and select Edit.

   An existing policy can also be modified by selecting it directly from the RF Domain Browser.

3. Expand the Network menu item and select Alias.
4. Select the Network Group Alias tab. The screen displays the attributes of existing network group alias configurations.

   Name	Displays the administrator assigned name assigned the network group alias.
   Host	Displays all the host aliases configured in the listed network group alias. Displays a blank column if no host alias is defined.
   Network	Displays all network aliases configured in the listed network group alias. Displays a blank column if no network alias is defined.

5. Select Add to create a new policy, Edit to modify the attributes of an existing policy or Delete to remove obsolete policies.
6. Select the added row to expand it into configurable parameters for defining the network alias rule.
7. If adding a new Network Alias Rule, give it a name up to 32 characters. The network group alias name always starts with a dollar sign ($).
8. Define the following network group alias parameters:

   Host	Specify the Host IP address for up to eight IP addresses supporting network aliasing. Select the down arrow to add the IP address to the table.
   Network	Specify the netmask for up to eight IP addresses supporting network aliasing. Subnets can improve network security and performance by organizing hosts into logical groups. Applying the subnet mask to an IP address separates the address into a host address and an extended network address. Select the down arrow to add the mask to the table.

9. In the Range table, use the + Add Row button to specify the Start IP address and End IP address for the alias range, or double-click an existing alias range entry to edit it.
10. Select OK when completed to update the network alias rules. Select Reset to revert the screen to its last saved configuration.
