Network Class Configuration Menu
You can set a network class to include several subnets or IP ranges, which can be used for filtering and virtual server classification.
Support for geographical location is available in Alteon version 30.2.4 and later.
A network class contains multiple network elements, with each element defining a specific range, a specific IP subnet, or a specific IP address that is either included in the network class or excluded from the network class. Using network classes for traffic classification, you can add or remove IP addresses without changing the entire traffic classification configuration.
You can configure up to 1024 network classes, 4096 subnets or IP ranges, and 8192 single IP addresses.
