Table Name Address Table name Format: Pulldown list

Range: Available user-configured address table names associated to the selected Routing Entity Type

Address Type Type of address for the Routing Entity Type Format: Radio buttons

Range: Range or Individual Address

Start Address Starting address for an Address Range

This field is required when Range is selected as Address Type.

If Address is an IPv6-prefix, the prefix length must be entered in the IPv6 Prefix length field.

Format: Text box

Range: End Address must be greater than Start Address.

  • Routing Entity Address:
    • IMSI: 15 digit string
    • MSISDN: 3-14 digit string
    • IMPI: 15 digit string
    • IMPU: 3-15 digit string
  • IPv4 Address: a 15 character string; quad-dotted format; valid characters are numeric (0–9) and dot (.); both compressed and expanded form are supported; for example: 192.168.1.15 or 192.168.001.015
  • IPv6-Prefix Address: Hexadecimal value; up to 39 characters; valid alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-F, a-f) and colon (:); both compressed and expanded form are supported; for example: 1:::2 or 0001:0000:0000:0000: 0000:0000:0000:0002
    Note: If this IPv6 address portion of the IPv6-prefix address is expressed in binary form (converting hexadecimal digits to bits), then no bit that is set (value=1) can be at an index that is greater than the configured IPv6 Prefix length. For example: 0001:0001:: for prefix length 28 is invalid as the 32nd bit is set.

    In addition, trailing zeros (0) can be dropped in this IPv6 address portion of the IPv6-prefix address but not the leading zeros (0); for example: 8:: for prefix length 1 is invalid because 8:: is treated as 0008::

  • UNSIGNED16: Hexadecimal value; valid alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-F, a-f); for example: 512, 20, 40, AA, 50A, FFFF

End Address Ending address for an Address Range

This field is required when Range is selected as Address Type.

If Address is an IPv6-prefix, the prefix length must be entered in the IPv6 Prefix length field.

Address Specific address

This field is enabled and required when Individual Address is selected as Address Type.

If Address is an IPv6-prefix, the prefix length must be entered in the IPv6 Prefix length field.

IPv6 Prefix length Prefix length of an IPv6-prefix address; specifies how many of the leftmost contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix.

This field is enabled and required when IPv6 Prefix is selected as Routing Entity Type.

Format: Text box; numeric

Range: 1–128

Destination Destination of the Address Format: Pulldown list

Range: Available user-configured destinations
