   IP Address/Range or MAC Address	You can add MAC addresses, IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses to an address object. An IPv4 address is similar to 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.2/24, 10.1.1.2/255.255.255.0, 10.1.1.2\0.0.0.255, or 10.1.1.2-10.1.1.10. If a single host IPv4 address is entered, the system automatically adds a 32-bit mask when delivering the address. An IPv6 address is similar to a234::120, 3::3/64, or a234::120-b234::120. If a single host IPv6 address is entered, the system automatically adds a 128-bit prefix length when delivering the address. A MAC address to be added can be in one of the following formats: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, and XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX (each X indicates a 1-digit hexadecimal number).
