Network Group Alias

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

A network group alias can contain multiple definitions for 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.

A network group alias is used in IP firewall rules to substitute hosts, subnets and IP address ranges:
