7. Select + Add Row to define Host Alias settings.
Use the Host Alias field to create aliases for hosts that can be utilized at different deployments. For example, if a central
network DNS server is set a static IP address, and a remote location’s local DNS server is defined, this host can be
overridden at the remote location. At the remote location, the network is functional with a local DNS server, but uses the
name set at the central network. A new host need not be created at the remote location. This simplifies creating and
managing hosts and allows an administrator to better manage specific local requirements
A host alias can be used to replace hostnames in the following locations:
• IP Firewall Rules
• DHCP
8. Select + Add Row to define Address Range Alias settings.
Use the Address Range Alias field to create aliases for IP address ranges that can be utilized at different deployments.
For example, if an ACL defines a pool of network addresses as 192.168.10.10 through 192.168.10.100 for an entire network,
and a remote location’s network range is 172.16.13.20 through 172.16.13.110, the remote location’s ACL can be overridden
using an alias. At the remote location, the ACL works with the 172.16.13.20-110 address range. A new ACL need not be
created specifically for the remote deployment location.
An address range alias can be used to replace an IP address range in IP firewall rules.
9. Select + Add Row to define Network Alias settings.
Use the Network Alias field to create aliases for IP networks that can be utilized at different deployments. For example,
if a central network ACL defines a network as 192.168.10.0/24, and a remote location’s network range is 172.16.10.0/24,
the ACL can be overridden at the remote location to suit their local (but remote) requirement. At the remote location, the
ACL functions with the 172.16.10.0/24 network. A new ACL need not be created specifically for the remote deployment.
This simplifies ACL definition and allows an administrator to better manage specific local requirements.
A network alias can be used to replace network declarations in the following locations:
• IP Firewall Rules
• DHCP
