When performing lookups into the example range map, the value in CustomerVar97 will take the
range map and search for the range that the value belongs in (if any). Some examples and their
results are:
CustomerVar97 = 1; CustomerVar89 will be set to AA
CustomerVar97 = 4; CustomerVar89 will be set to BB
CustomerVar97 = 300; CustomerVar89 will not be set
Internally, Sentinel converts IP addresses and dates to an integer for tags of the type IPv4 and Date.
IPv4 tags are:
 TargetIP (dip)

InitIP (sip)
Date tags are:

CustomerVar11 to CustomerVar20 (cv11 to cv20)
 DateTime (dt)

ReservedVar11 to ReservedVar20 (rv11 to rv20)
 DeviceEventTime

SentinelProcessTime
 BeginTime

EndTime
For more information on meta-tags, see “ Sentinel Event Fields ” in Sentinel 6.1 Reference Guide .
For example, for the table below, column 1 is numerical range equivalent to an IP range of 10.0.0.0
to 10.0.2.255.
167772160-167772415,AAA
167772416-167772671,BBB
167772672-167772927,CCC
