What form does an acceptable IP address or range come in?
IP addresses always include 4 groups of numbers, separated by a period ( . ). Each group may include up to 3 digits, and can range from 0 to 255. For example, 192.192.192.192. The placement of the period is important to the integrity of the IP address. Please use a dash ( – ) to indicate ranges. Example: 192.192.192.4-6. To indicate that you are using all available numbers for a particular group, you may use an asterisk ( * ). Example: 192.192.192.* would indicate an IP address of 192.192.192.0-255. If you use an asterisk in the third octet, you must use an asterisk in the fourth octet as well. An example of a valid address would be 192.192.*.*; however, 192.192.*.4 would not be valid. Our system does not accept ranges in more than one octet. Example: 192.192.1-2.94-108. Instead, in this case, you should submit two ranges: 192.192.1.94-108 and 192.192.2.94-108.
