How do I create an firewall rule that permits a range of addresses, as defined in a network/host object, but negates selected addresses within that range?
A. It is not possible to create a network object that includes a range but excludes certain addresses within that range. Instead, create two rules. The first rule should define those addresses that you want to deny. You can create a network/host object for that purpose. The second rule, which should immediately follow the first, should define the range of permitted addresses, as defined in the other network/host object.
