Creating or modifying the address of a Network Firewall address list- Log in to the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) by typing the following command:
tmsh - To create a new Network Firewall address list and add an IP address with a netmask, use the following command syntax:
create /security firewall address-list <new-address-list-name> addresses add { <network ip address>/<netmask> }
For example, to create the Network Firewall address list XYZ and add the IP address range 192.168.0/24, type the following command:
create /security firewall address-list XYZ addresses add { 192.168.0.0/24 }
To add an IP address with a netmask to an existing Network Firewall address list, use the following command syntax:
modify /security firewall address-list <existing-address-list-name> addresses add { <network ip address>/<netmask> }
For example, to modify an existing Network Firewall address list XYZ and add the IP address range of 10.10/16, type the following command:
modify /security firewall address-list XYZ addresses add { 10.10.0.0/16 } - Save the change by typing the following command:
save /sys config
There is another way we do using
