Add a Range of IP Addresses

You can specify a range of IP addresses for a policy. If you specify a range of IP addresses, the policy only fires for users who access the policy’s resources from one of the IP addresses included in the range of addresses.

Note: When you create or modify a Policy Server object in the Policy Server User Interface, use ASCII characters. Object creation or modification with non-ASCII characters is not supported.

To add a range of IP addresses to a policy

1. In the Add an IP Address Dialog, click on the Range radio button.

   The dialog changes to display the fields associated with your selection.

2. Enter a starting IP Address in the From fields.

   If you do not know the IP address, but you have a domain name for the address, you can click on the DNS Lookup button to open the DNS Lookup dialog.

3. Enter a fully qualified host name in the Host Name field and click OK. The DNS Lookup dialog closes and the IP address for the host name you entered appears in the SiteMinder Policy dialog.
4. Enter an ending IP address in the To fields.
5. Click OK to save the IP address and return to the Policy Dialog.

   The range of IP addresses appears in the list of addresses in the SiteMinder Policy dialog.
