Add a Subnet Mask for a Global Policy

You can specify a subnet mask for a global policy. If you specify a subnet mask, the global policy only fires for users who access the policy’s resources from the specified subnet mask.

To add a subnet mask to a global policy

1. In the Add an IP Address dialog box, click on the Subnet Mask radio button.

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

2. Enter an IP Address in the fields provided.

   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 box.

   Enter a fully qualified host name in the Host Name field and click OK. The DNS Lookup dialog box closes and the IP address for the host name you entered appears in the Add an IP Address dialog box.

3. Use the Left and Right arrow buttons, or click and drag the slider bar to select a subnet mask.
4. Click OK to save your settings and return to the Global Policy Properties dialog box.

   The subnet mask appears in the list of addresses in the Global Policy Properties dialog box.
