object-group

network (IPv4 address object group view)

Use network to configure an IPv4 address object.

Use undo network to delete an IPv4 address object.

Syntax

[ object-id ] network { host { address ip-address | name host-name [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] } | subnet ip-address { mask-length | mask } | range ip-address1 ip-address2 }

undo network { host { address ip-address | name host-name [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] } | subnet ip-address { mask-length | mask } | range ip-address1 ip-address2 }

undo object-id

Default

No IPv4 address objects exist.

Views

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

object-id: Specifies an object ID in the range of 0 to 4294967294. If you do not specify an object ID, the system automatically assigns the object a multiple of 10 next to the greatest ID being used. For example, if the greatest ID is 22, the system automatically assigns 30.

host: Configures an IPv4 address object with the host address or name.

address ip-address: Specifies an IPv4 host address.

name host-name: Specifies a host name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 60 characters. This parameter supports fuzzy matching. You can add an asterisk (*) to the front, end, or both of a string to indicate all host names that include the string. If no asterisks are attached, the system performs exact matching with the specified host name.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN to which the host belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument represents the VPN instance name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If you do not specify this option, the command displays information about the host in the public network.

subnet ip-address { mask-length | mask }: Configures an IPv4 address object with the subnet address followed by a mask length in the range of 0 to 32 or a mask in dotted decimal notation.

range ip-address1 ip-address2: Configures an IPv4 address object with the address range. The ip-address1 argument specifies the start address and the ip-address2 argument represents the end address.

Usage guidelines

This command fails if you use it to configure or change an IPv4 address object to be identical with an existing object.

This command creates an IPv4 address object if the specified object ID does not exist. Otherwise, the command overwrites the configuration of the specified object.

If you configure a subnet with the mask length of 32 or the mask of 255.255.255.255, the system configures the object with a host address.

When you use the range ip-address1 ip-address2 option, follow these guidelines:

·     If ip-address1 is equal to ip-address2, the system configures the object with a host address.

·     If ip-address1 is not equal to ip-address2, the system compares the two IPv4 addresses, configures a range starting with the lower IPv4 address, and performs the following operations:

¡     Configures the object with an address range if the two addresses are in different subnets.

¡     Configures the object with a subnet address if the two addresses are in the same subnet.

Examples

# Configure an IPv4 address object with the host address of 192.168.0.1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] object-group ip address ipgroup

[Sysname-obj-grp-ip-ipgroup] network host address 192.168.0.1

Parameters

object-id: Specifies an object ID in the range of 0 to 4294967294. If you do not configure an object ID, the system automatically assigns the object a multiple of 10 next to the greatest ID being used. For example, if the greatest ID is 22, the system automatically assigns 30.

host: Configures an IPv6 address object with the host address or name.

address ipv6-address: Specifies an IPv6 host address.

name host-name: Specifies a host name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 60 characters. This parameter supports fuzzy matching. You can add an asterisk (*) to the front, end, or both of a string to indicate all host names that include the string. If no asterisks are attached, the system performs exact matching with the specified host name.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN to which the host belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument represents the VPN instance name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If you do not specify this option, the command displays information about the host in the public network.

subnet ipv6-address prefix-length: Configures an IPv6 address object with the subnet address followed by the prefix length in the range of 1 to 128.

range ipv6-address1 ipv6-address2: Configures an IPv6 address object. The ipv6-address1 argument specifies the start address and the ipv6-address2 represents the end address.

Usage guidelines

This command fails if you use it to configure or change an IPv6 address object to be identical with an existing object.

This command creates an IPv6 address object if the specified object ID does not exist. Otherwise, the command overwrites the configuration of the specified object.

If you configure a subnet address with the prefix length of 128, the system configures the object with a host address.

When you use the range ipv6-address1 ipv6-address2 option, follow these guidelines:

·     If ipv6-address1 is equal to ipv6-address2, the system configures the object with a host address.

·     If ipv6-address1 is not equal to ipv6-address2, the system compares the two IPv6 addresses, configures a range starting with the lower IPv6 address, and performs the following operations:

¡     Configures the object with an address range if the two addresses are in different subnets.

¡     Configures the object with a subnet address if the two addresses are in the same subnet.

Examples

# Configure an IPv6 address object with the host address of 1::1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] object-group ipv6 address ipv6group

[Sysname-obj-grp-ipv6-ipv6group] network host address 1::1

Parameters

ip address: Configures an IPv4 address object group.

ipv6 address: Configures an IPv6 address object group.

port: Configures a port object group.

object-group-name: Specifies an object group name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.

Usage guidelines

The object-group command execution results vary with the specified object group.

·     If the specified group does not exist, the system creates a new object group and enters the object group view.

·     If the specified group exists but the group type is different from that in the command, the command fails.

The undo object-group command execution results vary with the specified object group.

·     If the specified group does not exist, the system executes the command without any system prompt.

·     If the specified group exists and the group type is the same as that in the command, the system deletes the group.

·     If the specified group exists but the group type is different from that in the command, the command fails.

·     If the specified object group is being used by an ACL or object group, the command fails.

Default object groups cannot be deleted.

Examples

# Configure an IPv4 address object group named ipgroup.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] object-group ip address ipgroup

# Configure an IPv6 address object group named ipv6group.

object-group dns-aging

Use object-group dns-aging to enable aging of DNS-resolved IP addresses from host names.

Use undo object-group dns-aging to disable aging of DNS-resolved IP addresses from host names.

Syntax

object-group dns-aging [ time aging-time ]

undo object-group dns-aging

Default

Aging of DNS-resolved IP addresses from host names is disabled.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

time aging-time: Specifies the aging time in the range of 1 to 70000000 minutes. The default value is 120.

Usage guidelines

In load balancing scenarios where one host name maps to several IP addresses, DNS-resolved IP address for a host name changes between these mapping addresses. Upon every change, the object group module notifies relevant policies of the change, which causes policies to submit changes frequently and consumes memory. To resolve this issue, you can enable aging of DNS-resolved IP addresses from host names.

With this feature enabled, the system maintains an IP address group for each host name. If a resolved IP address is not in the group, the system adds the address to the group and notifies relevant policies of the change. If a resolved IP address is in the group, the system does not notify relevant policies.

As a best practice, set the aging time to be longer than the TTL of resolution records on the DNS server.

Examples

# Enable aging of DNS-resolved IP addresses from host names and set the aging time to 5 minutes.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] object-group dns-aging

[Sysname] object-group dns-aging time 5

port (port object group view)

Use port to configure a port object.

Use undo port to delete a port object.

Syntax

[ object-id ] port { { eq | lt | gt } port | range port1 port2 }

undo port { { eq | lt | gt } port | range port1 port2 }

undo object-id

Default

No port objects exist.

Views

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

object-id: Specifies an object ID in the range of 0 to 4294967294. If you do not specify an object ID, the system automatically assigns the object a multiple of 10 next to the greatest ID being used. For example, if the greatest ID is 22, the system automatically assigns 30.

eq: Configures a port object with a port number equal to the specified port.

lt: Configures a port object with a port number smaller than the specified port.

gt: Configures a port object with a port number greater than the specified port.

port: Specifies a port number in the range of 0 to 65535.

range port1 port2: Configures a port object with a port range. The value range for the port1 and port2 arguments is 0 to 65535.

Usage guidelines

This command fails if you use it to configure or change a port object to be identical with an existing object.

This command creates a port object if the specified object ID does not exist. Otherwise, the command overwrites the configuration of the specified object.

When you use the lt port option, follow these guidelines:

·     The value of port cannot be 0.

·     If the value of port is 1, the system configures the object with a port number of 0.

·     If the value of port is in the range of 2 to 65535, the system configures the object with a port number range of [0, port–1].

When you use the gt port option, follow these guidelines:

·     The value of port cannot be 65535.

·     If the value of port is 65534, the system configures the object with a port number of 65535.

·     If the value of port is in the range of 0 to 65533, the system configures the object with a port number range of [port+1, 65535].

When you use the range port1 port2 option, follow these guidelines:

·     If port1 is equal to port2, the system configures the object with the port number port1.

·     If port1 is smaller than port2, the system configures the object with the port number range.

·     If port1 is greater than port2, the system changes the range to [port2, port1] and configures the object with the changed port number range.

·     If port1 is 0, the range is displayed as lt port2+1.

·     If port2 is 65535, the range is displayed as gt port1–1.
