target[/subnet]

The target[/subnet] option indicates a host name or range of addresses to be compared to the prospective source or destination addresses being evaluated. The following are examples of how to indicate a target or a subnet:

A host name

myserver.domain

An IP address

10.82.105.11

A network with subnet

10.82.105.0/21

Any IPv4 address

0.0.0.0

Any IPv6 address

0::0

Any address

0/0

A host or a network name that cannot resolve causes the target to be ignored. However, any associated source is added to the source binding list.
