Specifying IP Addresses for Firewall Rules

You can allow only communication with devices that have the specified IP addresses and reject communication with other devices. You can also specify settings to reject only communication with devices that have specific IP addresses and allow other communications. You can specify a single IP address or a range of IP addresses.
Up to 16 IP addresses (or ranges of IP addresses) can be specified for both IPv4 and IPv6.
The communication protocols that can be restricted in this way are TCP, UDP, and ICMP.

Specify address exceptions.
Enter an IP address (or a range of IP addresses) in the [Address to Register] text box and click [Add].
Entry format for IP addresses
To enter a single address (IPv4)
Enter numbers delimited by "." (periods) (Example: "192.168.0.10").
To enter a single address (IPv6)
Enter hexadecimal numbers delimited by ":" (colons) (Example: "fe80::10").
To specify a range of addresses
Insert a hyphen ("-") between the addresses (Examples: "192.168.0.10-192.168.0.20" "fe80::10-fe80::20").
To specify a range of addresses with a prefix
Enter an address, followed by a slash ("/") and a number indicating the prefix length (Examples: "192.168.0.32/27" "fe80::1234/64").
When [Reject] is selected for an outbound filter
Outgoing multicast and broadcast packets cannot be filtered.
