Working with Wildcard Objects

In the R81.10.X releases, this feature is available starting from the R81.10.08 version Build 996001739.

This section provides commands to work with Wildcard Objects.

A wildcard object represents IP addresses that share a common pattern. For example, all IP hosts with the IP address 250 on different networks is represented as 192.168.*.250 / 24.

Limitations:

• IPv6 addresses are not supported.

• In the wildcard IPv4 address, the asterisk octet always has the IPv4 subnet mask octet 255.

  Examples:

  • IPv4 address with a wildcard: X.X.*.X

  • IPv4 address with a wildcard: X.*.X.X

    In both examples, the IPv4 subnet mask that the Access Policy applies is 255.255.255.255.
