Common Operations

1. Sort
  • You can click a title link in a list to arrange the entries in the column in descending or ascending order.
2. Search
  • Search is to search for the IP addresses configured on all the interfaces of the devices. When there are a large number of devices managed by the system, you can use the quick search function. Type partial or full device names or IP addresses to quickly search for the devices.
3. Select devices
    You need to select devices when adding/deleting ACLs or adding/deleting ACL uses in batches. Fuzzy and exact match by device name or IP address is supported. You can also search for devices by status or category. Select one or more devices from the result list, and click the right button to add the device(s) to the selected device list. To delete one or more devices from the list, click the Delete link of the devices. The following variables are supported currently:

  • MAC address variable: You can select all or a certain MAC address. To specify a MAC address, type the MAC address/mask in the MAC Address/Mask text box and click Add to add it to the selected MAC address list. Click Delete or Delete All to remove the unnecessary MAC addresses.
  • IP address variable: You can select all the IP addresses or specify an IP segment. To specify an IP address, type the IP address/mask in the IP Address/Mask text box and click Add to add it to the selected IP address list. Or, you can click Select, and then select a network address group in the popup Select Networks dialog box. The IP addresses in the group are added to the selected IP address list. Click Delete or Delete All to delete the unnecessary IP addresses.

Or, you can select Select, and then select a service in the popup Select Service dialog box. The ports involved in the service are added to the selected port list. Click Delete or Delete All to delete the unnecessary ports. In defining an advanced ACL template, if you set the source/destination port as a variable, the default matching condition is Equal.
