Actually, for IP/networks, equals and starts_with would effectively be the same. Eg: is it not true that 1.1.1.1 starts_with 1.1.1.0/24? So, under the covers, the matching actually uses more of a starts_with type of logic when matching IP's. However, when matching IP datagroups you will only be allowed to use the "equals" operator. The other operators are not allowed.

 

 

I haven't tested this, but assumed that starts_with is simply a string and wouldn't understand a network/mask type comparison..would 1.1.1.1 really start with 1.1.1.0/24?
