Description:
The Value field in LCOS allows a maximum of 64 characters, e.g. for specifying IP addresses. If you are configuring fire=
wall objects with WEBconfig or the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) a=
nd you need more than 64 characters, you have the option of nesting=
the objects.
In LANconfig, nesting is carried out=
automatically when you save the configuration. Scenario:
- The 9 PCs in a warehouse require a station object to be created in the =
firewall of the LANCOM device.
- The local IP addresses of these devices start with 10.10.10.1 and end w=
ith 10.10.10.9.
- Since it is not possible to enter every IP address into a singl=
e Value field because of the character limitation, instead we create multiple station objects (in this case, two) containing all of t=
he IP addresses. These two objects are then collected into=
a parent object.
Procedure:
1) Create the first object and enter all of the IP addresses, each with the=
prefix parameter %A and separated by a space=
, in the field Value (e.g. %A10.10.10.1 %A10.10.1=
0.2 %A10.10.10.3 %A10.10.10.4 %A10.10.10.5).
Give the object any name (but not too long). Save the=
object with OK.
2) Create an additional object and enter the other IP addresses, each with =
the prefix parameter %A and separated by a sp=
ace, in the field Value (e.g. %A10.10.10.6 %A10.1=
0.10.7 %A10.10.10.8 %A10.10.10.9).
Give the object any name (but not too long). Save the=
object with OK.
3) Create a third object which contains the n=
ames of the objects created in steps 1) and 2) (separated by a spa=
ce).
4) The nesting of the objects is now configured. The =
configuration can now be rolled out or copied to the LANCOM device.
