Martian Addresses
The Martian Addresses page enables entering IP addresses that indicate an attack if they are
seen on the network. Packets from these addresses are discarded.
The device supports a set of reserved Martian addresses that are illegal from the point of view
of the IP protocol. The supported reserved Martian addresses are:
• Addresses defined to be illegal in the Martian Addresses page.
• Addresses that are illegal from the point of view of the protocol, such as loopback
addresses, including addresses within the following ranges:
- 0.0.0.0/8 (Except 0.0.0.0/32 as a Source Address)—Addresses in this block refer
to source hosts on this network.
- 127.0.0.0/8—Used as the Internet host loopback address.
- 192.0.2.0/24—Used as the TEST-NET in documentation and example codes.
- 224.0.0.0/4 (As a Source IP Address)—Used in IPv4 Multicast address
assignments, and was formerly known as Class D Address Space.
- 240.0.0.0/4 (Except 255.255.255.255/32 as a Destination Address)—Reserved
address range, and was formerly known as Class E Address Space.
