Hi Chris,

 

 

Which version are you running? If you're on pre-10.10 I think you'd need to continue with the if/elseif/.../else chain you have above. switch will only allow you to check one string against a list of cases.

 

 

If you're on 10.1.0 or higher you can use a new "value" option in an address type datagroup to store the strPodNumber as that value. You could then combine all of the IP addresses/ranges into a single datagroup and then use the class command to search that datagroup. See this post for details:

I'm running 10.2. I'll check that link and reply if I have another question about how to use it. Thanks!
