Inserting an Address

Use this task to add a new address or range of addresses to a Routing Entity type.

Before this task is performed, make sure there is at least one Address Table and one Destination configured in the system.

Select RBAR > Configuration > Addresses.
The RBAR > Configuration > Addresses page appears.
Click Insert.
The RBAR > Configuration > Addresses [Insert] page appears.
Select the type of Routing Entity from the Routing Entity Type pulldown list.
Select the name of the Address Table from the Address Table pulldown list.
Select the desired Address Type radio button (Range or Individual Address).
Enter the appropriate address data depending on the selection of the Address Type:
- For Range:
  1. Enter the starting address for the range in the Start Address field.
  2. Enter the ending address for the range in the End Address field.
- For Individual Address, enter the specific address in the Address field.
If the address entered is an IPv6-prefix, enter the prefix length in the IPv6 Prefix length field.
Select the Destination from the Destination pulldown list.
Perform one of the following actions:
- Click OK to save the address entry and return to the RBAR > Configuration > Addresses page.
- Click Apply to save the address entry and stay on this page.
- Click Cancel to return to the RBAR > Configuration > Addresses page without saving the data.
If OK or Apply is clicked and any of the following conditions exist, an error message appears:
- Start Address is greater than the End Address
- Start Address and End Address for an Address Range are overlapping or already exists
- At least one Address Table and one Destination have not been configured; they do not exist in the system
- Address already exists for a Table Name
- The entry in any field is not valid (wrong data type or out of the valid range)
- Any required field is empty
- The maximum number of records for the Address Type (1,000,000 for each type) is already defined in the system
