This was covered ina previous topic but I can't find the answer in a search or on the list. I understand how to add IP Addresses to the ban list, but if I don't want to include the entire adrees, do I need to include a terminal peiod at the end of each address of subnet?

For example:

entire address- 168.23.87.312
If I want to ban 168.23.87, do I nees aperiod at the end of it or not?
