Re: What is "/24" in front of the IP number?

That's CIDR notation for a class C network (a netmask of
255.255.255.0).  For your entry, you can create two rules for the
networks you wish to designate.

Nowadays I'm working with firewall linux, and I'm
configuring one in a client organization. I found in
the script who apply the rules of the firewall
(IPCHAINS) the follow lines:

INT0="eth0"
IP0="192.168.1.125/24"
NET0="192.168.1.0"

What is "/24" in the IP number?
Can I put two networks in the same variable? Exemplo:
NET0="192.168.1.0,192.168.10.0" It's correct?

Thank's

Fabio
