How many IP Addresses can I enter in the IP Address Allowlist text box?

Ensure that the number of characters of the IP Address list that you enter in the IP Addresses Allowlist text box doesn't exceed 10000 characters.

If you want to include more IP addresses beyond the 10000 characters limit, then you must enable the profile option ASE_EXTEND_LOCATION_BASED_ACCESS_CONTROL_IP_STORAGE.

Here's how you enable the profile option:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, open the task Manage Administrator Profile Values.

  2. Search the following Profile Option Code:

    ASE_EXTEND_LOCATION_BASED_ACCESS_CONTROL_IP_STORAGE

  3. In the Profile Value drop-down list, select Yes.

  4. Click Save and Close.

If your organization has a huge network of computers, then you can import a .csv file containing the list of IP addresses. If the number of characters in the file doesn't exceed 10000 characters, the import is successful. If the number of characters exceed the limit, the import completes with a warning.

Do these steps:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, select All Tasks from the Show drop-down list in the Initial Users section.

  2. Click Actions for the task Manage Applications Security Preferences.

  3. Click Import from CSV File, Create New.

  4. Click Browse to select the file.

  5. Click Submit.

    If the number of characters doesn't exceed 10000, the file is imported successfully. Else, the import completes with a warning.
