IMPORT FILE FORMATS |
|
The XE-Filter Import facility expects all IP Address
files to be in a
"Comma-Separated-Value" (CSV) format.
This CSV format may contain a single IP address or a range of IP
addresses. An optional remark field may be at the
end of the entry.
Only one
IP address or range of addresses is permitted per line.
If the comma character is part of the
<Optional Remark> portion of the import
entry, the entire <Optional Remark> must be enclosed double
quote characters.
