Notes 

  • Only IPv4 addresses are supported, not IPv6 addresses.

  • Multiple IP address ranges can be specified.

  • There are no restrictions on the number of IP address filter entries that can be added.

  • When you provide an IP address Suffix, you are providing an IP address range. For example using the IP address 190.1.2.0 and suffix 24 creates an IP address range of 190.1.2.1 to 190.1.2.254.
