FireSIGHT System User Guide
 
Chapter 1      Introduction
  IP Address Conventions
Users with custom roles may have permission sets that differ from those of the predefined roles. When 
a predefined role is used to indicate access requirements for a procedure, a custom role with similar 
permissions also has access. For more information on custom user roles, see 
IP Address Conventions
You can use IPv4 Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation and the similar IPv6 prefix length 
notation to define address blocks in many places in the FireSIGHT System.
CIDR notation uses a network IP address combined with a bit mask to define the IP addresses in the 
specified block of addresses. For example, the following table lists the private IPv4 address spaces in 
CIDR notation.
Similarly, IPv6 uses a network IP address combined with a prefix length to define the IP addresses in a 
specified block. For example, 2001:db8::/32 specifies the IPv6 addresses in the 2001:db8:: network with 
a prefix length of 32 bits, that is, 2001:db8:: through 2001:db8:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff.
When you use CIDR or prefix length notation to specify a block of IP addresses, the FireSIGHT System 
uses only the portion of the network IP address specified by the mask or prefix length. For example, if 
you type 10.1.2.3/8, the FireSIGHT System uses 10.0.0.0/8.
In other words, although Cisco recommends the standard method of using a network IP address on the 
bit boundary when using CIDR or prefix length notation, the FireSIGHT System does not require it.
