Locations

Locations is used to define custom locations, for example to map internal IP scopes to an name and country.

Maxmind GeoIP database (https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo) is used to lookup public IP's and map them to a country, if they are not mapped to custom location.

Accessing the "Administration - Locations" page.

To see the "Administration - Locations" page, click the "Administration" link in the top green menu bar, then click the "Locations" link in the dropdown menu:

Once clicked you will be shown a popup window where the new location can be created.

Input the needed fields and click save.

IP range is automatically created based on the provided CIDR, see CIDR examples for explanation.

Once clicked you will be shown a popup window where the location can be edited.

Deleting a location.

CIDR to IP Range (Example)

You can use an online calculator, if you only have the start and end ip scope.

1) Map single host CIDR

Use /32 to map a single host, is written as x.x.x.x/32

2) Map range:

CIDR = 192.168.3.55/28

IP ADDRESS

192	168	3	55
11000000	10101000	00000011	00110111

NET MASK
28 bits turned on

11111111

11110000

(IP ADDRESS) AND (NET MASK)

11000000	10101000	00000011	00110111
11111111	11111111	11111111	11110000

11000000

10101000

00000011

00110000

Start IP = 192.168.3.48 (11000000.10101000.00000011.00110000)

Last octet in the NET MASK: 11110000

11111111

11110000

Last bit turned on in last octect: 16

1	1	1	1	0	0	0	0
128	64	32	16	8	4	2	1

48-16-1=63

End IP = 192.168.3.63

IP RANGE = 192.168.3.48 - 192.168.3.63
