Description

Allow list with distinct IP
addresses

The simplest allow/deny list is to use the list of known IP addresses to craft a
list of allowed IP addresses. All other addresses are denied access to the
broadcast.

For example if your system is accessible on your local area network (LAN) and
you want to make sure only the CEO’s specific desktop, laptop and tablet
computers (with IP Addresses 192.168.1.50, 192.168.1.51, and 192.165.1.75,
respectively) can connect to the broadcast, construct the following allow list:

Allow: 192.168.1.50, 192.168.1.51, 192.168.1.75

Allow list with a range of IP
addresses

Sometimes you’ll want a range of computer IP addresses to connect to your
system. This may happen when you have one range of IP addresses assigned
to desktop computers (i.e. in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100) and
another range assigned to boardroom computers (i.e. the range 192.168.1.200
to 192.168.1.250). If you only want the boardroom computers to connect to
broadcasts from the system you can specify the range of boardroom IP
addresses rather than needing to type in each individual address. The allow list
looks as follows:

Allow: 192.168.1.200-192.168.1.250

Note that we could have specified two of the IP addresses in the previous
example as a range.

Allow list with a range of IP
addresses and one or more
specific IP addresses

Putting the first two examples together, we want to permit access to IP
addresses in the range of boardroom computers (192.168.1.200-
192.168.1.250) and also want to add the desktop, laptop and tablet computers
of the CEO (IP addresses 192.168.1.50, 192.168.1.51, and 192.168.1.75,
respectively). Note the first two IP addresses are consecutive, so they can be
added as a second range. Add these IP addresses to the list as follows:

Allow: 192.168.1.200-192.168.1.250, 192.168.1.50-192.168.1.51,
192.168.1.75
