Configure Address Range for Locations Rule

If the agent address matches the IP Address Range criteria, the location rule is included in the selection. The location awareness feature supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. When the agent matches multiple rules, the feature uses the priority value of the rules to decide which server to use.

Follow these steps:

1. Double-click new value in the Address Range column.

   The Setting Properties dialog opens.

2. Enter the address range in the Value field, then click OK.

   Limits: The minimum value is 1 character.

   If you use IPv4, you can specify the IP Address, IP wildcard, or IP Range in the address range column. For example:

   • IP address format: 192.168.1.1
   • IP wildcard format: 192.168.1.*
   • IP range format: 192.168.2.1-192.168.2.100

   If you use IPv6, you can specify the various IPv6 address prefixes in the address range column. For example:

   2001:DB8::/48

   Identifies the organization, site, subsite, and subnet.48 is the length of prefix in bits, maximum allowed number of bits is 64.

   Special address prefixes:

   FE80::/64

   Used to match a link-local prefix; that is, local subnet.

   FEC0::/64

   Used to match a site-local prefix.

   ::/0

   Used to match all IPv6 addresses.

   Multicast group addresses:

   FF02::1

   Used to match all nodes on the local network segment (link-local).

   FF05::1

   Used to match all nodes on the site network (site-local).

   FF08::1

   Used to match all nodes on the organization network (organization-local).

   The address range to the location rule is configured.
