Configure a Network Group Alias Profile

A Network Group Alias consists of Host and Network configurations.

A network group alias can contain multiple definitions for a host, network, and IP address range. A maximum of eight host entries, eight network entries and eight IP addresses range entries can be configured inside a network group alias. A maximum of 32 network group alias entries can be created.

Go to Profiles <select a device profile> Network > Alias > Network Group Alias.
Select to add a Network Group alias.
Assign a Name for the alias in the range 1 – 32 characters.

Note

The Network Group Alias name always starts with a dollar sign ($).
Select Add to configure Host alias settings. Specify the Host IP address for up to eight IP addresses supporting network aliasing. Enter a single IP address using the form 192.168.10.23.
Select Add to configure Network alias settings. Specify the netmask for up to eight (8) 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. Enter an IP address representing complete networks in the form of 192.168.10.0/24, or enter an IP address range as described in the next step.
Select Add to configure a Range of IP addresses for use with Network alias configurations. Enter an IP address range using the Start IP and End IP fields.
After you have completed configuring the settings, choose from the following actions:
1. Select Apply to commit the configured settings.
  
  Note
  This does not save the settings you configured; it provides a preview of your applied settings. To undo the settings you applied, select Revert.
2. Select Save to commit and save the configured settings.
  
  Note
  
  If you do not select Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.
