BR200 Advanved Firewall Traffic Rules; error message: cannot add the same traffic rule
Dear community I need to define two ranges in firewall traffic rules: 10.238.2.0/26 and 10.238.65.0/26 I can't find any way to use CIDR syntax :smileyfrustrated: So I define as first rule: 1...

Hello,
Let me discuss this with engineering for a possible work around on creating the second rule.

Dear MrJoshW
Thank you for your efforts. It would be nice if the CIDR syntax becomes possible, like it is with linux iptables. Otherwise it is not clear to me how to deal with large ranges, e.g. 10.140.1.0 - 10.140.254.254.
And one hint to this post. I have learned that the order of the rules is important. It would be nice if there was a way to order the rules in WebUI. Now one have to enter the rules in allready the right order. This makes e.g. whitelisting of a new IP difficult.
Is a CLI for BR200 available with more options as WebUI?

Hello,
CIDR syntax and CLI access to the unit is not possible on the BR200/500 unit. As you previously stated for adding the traffic rules you would need to add the subnet range to the traffic rules list. This would be something to bring up in the ideas exchange thread.
