Adding an IP Address Group

Prerequisites

You have purchased WAF.

Constraints

• For dedicated and ELB-accessed cloud WAF instances, if the load balancers they use support IPv6 addresses, those WAF instances also support IPv6 addresses or IPv6 address ranges.

Specification Limitations

• A maximum of 100 address groups can be created. You can add multiple IP addresses or IP address ranges to an address group. You can use commas (,), semicolons (;), carriage returns (Enter), tab characters (Tab), or spaces to separate IP addresses or IP address ranges.
• Before adding an address group to a blacklist or whitelist rule, ensure that your IP address blacklist and whitelist rule quota has not been used up.
  

  • For details, see Configuring IP Address Blacklist and Whitelist Rules to Block or Allow Specified IP Addresses.

    For details about specifications, see Edition Differences.

  • If the quota for IP address whitelist and blacklist rules of your cloud WAF cannot meet your requirements, you can purchase rule expansion packages under the current WAF instance edition or upgrade your WAF instance edition to increase such quota. A rule expansion package allows you to configure up to 10 IP address blacklist and whitelist rules.
