Insert and Edit pages
*Routing Entity Type	Routing Entity Type	Format: list Range: IMSI IMSISDN IMPI IMPU IPv4 IPv6 Prefix UNSIGNED16 External Identifier Default: none
Routing Entity Component	The Routing Entity Component of the address assists with enhanced address resolution. This field is enabled when External Identifier is selected as the Routing Entity Type.	Format: list Range: Domain Identifier Local Identifier Default: none
*Table Name	Address table name	Format: list Range: available user-configured address table names associated to the selected Routing Entity Type Default: none
Address Type	Type of address for the routing entity type	Format: options Range: range or individual address or a domain name Default: range
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: field Range: end address must be greater than start address. Routing Entity Address: IMSI: 15 digit string MSISDN: 3-15 digit string IMPI: 15 digit string IMPU: 3-15 digit string External Identifier: 1-20 digit string for start and end addresses; 1-128 for an individual address 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 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. Note: 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 Default: none
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 or Domain is selected as the 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: field Range: 1–128 Default: none
*Destination	Destination of the address	Format: list Range: available user-configured destinations Default: none
Nested Table Name	Address table for a next level search using the Local Identifier of External Identifier AVP	Format: list Range: available Address Table Names of Routing Entity Type External identifier with a sub-type of Local Identifier Default: none
