"Wrong" IP netmask object definition

[mikesr]

Hi,

I am a new bee in PA. Can any answer very basic question.

I have seen  IP Netmask object defined with non-zero host portion and mask smaller then /32 in some firewall configurations..

Like this: 192.168.1.1/24 .

How does this work. Is that host object 192.168.1.1 or network object 192.168.1.0/24 .

Regards

Roman

Hi @mikesr ,

It will be considered a range.
