JANUS DEFINEIPGROUP

Create named group of ip addresses

This command creates a named group which contains any number of IP addresses. The groupname can then be used to control Janus Web Server or Janus Sockets access based on IP address.

Syntax

JANUS DEFINEIPGROUP groupname ipaddress(es)

Where each parameter is positional and required:

groupname

A 1 - 30 character name of the group with which IP addresses are being associated for ALLOW and DISALLOW rules in JANUS WEB, JANUS CLSOCK, or JANUS SRVSOCK commands.

ipaddress(es)

A list of IP addresses or subnet masks in "dotted" format. IP addresses are formatted nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. For example, 198.242.244.47 is a valid IP address. Subnet masks are formatted in one of two ways: With a slash separating the subnet identifier from the subnet mask, as in "198.242.244.0/255.255.255.0" With a dash (“-”) separating the subnet identifier from the number of subnet mask bits, as in "198.242.244.0-24". All formats may be used in any combination, separated by spaces or commas, on the same command. Note: Translation of a name to an IP address is not supported on this command.

The DEFINEIPGROUP command may be abbreviated DEFIPGROUP, DEFIPG, and DEFINEIPG.

The following example builds an IP group called PRIVILEGED made of all IP addresses in the 198.242.0.0 subdomain (using 16 mask bits), all addresses in the 169.231.11.0 subdomain (using 24 mask bits) and the single IP address 184.194.222.7.

JANUS DEFIPG PRIVILEGED 198.242.0.0-16 169.231.11.0-24 184.194.222.7
