IDENTITIES
HOST ADDRESSES
Identities are reusable groups of items that are added to lter policy rules. A
match on any single item in the group will cause the rule to match. Identities
are referenced in rules by their name. Choosing descriptive names like “NW
Sales Team” or “Engineering” will aid in understanding existing rules and in
choosing identities for new rules.
A Host identity can contain IPv4, IPv6, and Fully Qualied Domain Name
addresses. A single identity can contain a combination of IPv4 and IPv6
addresses. IPv4/6 addresses cannot be combined with FQDN addresses in the
same identity.
IP addresses are entered using CIDR notation, e.g. 1.2.3.4/32 and
0123:4567::CDEF/128. FQDN addresses are entered with at least one dot
separating a top-level domain from a root zone, e.g. cradlepoint.com.
