They can be:

  • IPv4 range—For example 192.168.1.100-105, 192.168.1.100/24, or 192.168.1.\*.

  • IPv6 address—For example fda8:7554:2721:a8b3::3.

  • IPv6 network prefix—For example fda8:7554:2721:a8b3::/64. 

The following address types cannot be specified

  • IPv6 link local addresses (prefix fe80::/64)
  • IPv6 multicast addresses (prefix ff00::/8)
  • IPv4 multicast addresses (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) 

As you enter text, the UI divides it into pills (discrete editable units) when you enter a space or a comma. According to the text entered, the pill is formatted to represent one of the previous types or is presented as invalid.

Invalid pills are labeled with a question mark. You can also paste a list of IP addresses or ranges into this field. If any pills are invalid, a message stating the number of invalid pills is displayed above the range field. Clicking the link applies a filter that shows only invalid pills, which you can then edit or delete. The filter can be removed by clicking clear in the Showing n of n label below the Range field. There is no paste option on the context-sensitive (right-click) menu.

Warning: Do not paste a comma-separated list of IP address information into the Range field in Firefox. Doing so can crash the browser. You can use a space-separated list with no problems.

• To edit a pill, click the pill body and edit the text.
• To delete a pill, click the X icon to the right of the pill, or click to edit and delete all of the text.
• To view the unformatted source text, click the source toggle switch. The source view is useful for copying to a text editor or spreadsheet. Click the source toggle switch again to see the formatted pill view. Underneath the entry field is a filter box. Enter text in the filter box to only show matching pills.
 Pills are not supported in Opera.
