IP Matching

With IPv4 prefix matching, an IP address or subnet is specified, optionally followed by a slash and the number of bits from the prefix that are significant when comparing for a match. For example, the following matches anything in the 123.45.67.0 subnet:

$(123.45.67.0/24)

With IPv4 ignore bits matching, an IP address or subnet is specified, optionally followed by a slash and the number of bits to ignore when checking for a match. For example, the following matches anything in the 123.45.67.0 subnet:

$<123.45.67.0/8>

The following example matches anything in the range 123.45.67.4 through 123.45.67.7:

$<123.45.67.4/2>

IPv6 matching matches an IPv6 address or subnet.
