    • Enter each IP address or IP address pattern on a separate line.
    • Use the standard IP address format: for example, 192.240.180.202.
    • Use the standard IP address pattern: '*' as a wildcard the for IP address octet, for example, 192.240.180.*; or a range, for example, 192.240.180.200-230.
    • Enter up to 100 IP addresses and IP address patterns.
