Use the Network Alias field to create aliases for IP networks that can be utilized at different
deployments. For example, if a central network ACL defines a network as
192.168.10.0/24, and a remote location’s network range is 172.16.10.0/24, the ACL can
be overridden at the remote location to suit their local (but remote) requirement. At the
remote location, the ACL functions with the 172.16.10.0/24 network. A new ACL need not
be created specifically for the remote deployment. This simplifies ACL definition and allows
an administrator to better manage specific local requirements.

screen back to its last saved configuration.
RF Domain Network Group Alias
A network group alias is a set of configurations consisting of host and network configurations.
Network configurations are complete networks in the form of 192.168.10.0/24 or an IP address
range in the form of 192.168.10.10-192.168.10.20. Host configurations are in the form of a single
IP address, 192.168.10.23.
A network group alias can contain multiple definitions for a host, network, and IP address range. A
maximum of eight (8) Host entries, eight (8) network entries and eight (8) IP addresses range
entries can be configured inside a network group alias. A maximum of 32 network group alias
entries can be created.
To set a network group alias configuration for a RF Domain:
1. Select Configuration > RF Domains from the Web UI.
The RF Domain screen displays within the main portion of the Web UI, and the RF Domain
Browser displays in the lower, left-hand, portion of the Web UI.
2. From the RF Domain screen, either select the Add button or highlight an existing RF Domain
and select Edit.
An existing policy can also be modified by selecting it directly from the RF Domain browser.
3. Expand the Network menu item and select Alias.
4. Select the Network Group Alias tab. The screen displays the attributes of existing network
group alias configurations.
Name If adding a new Network Alias, provide it a distinguishing name up to 32 characters. The alias name
always starts with a dollar sign ($).
Network Provide a network address in the form of host/mask.
