When you want to configure policy for groups of IP address and URL categories and reputations objects, you can upload files that contain the addresses and URL information so that you do not have to configure these objects individually.

You can upload files that contain one or more IP addresses that you want to block (blacklist) or accept (whitelist). You can then associate the file with an address group and apply the address group to a security access policy. The IP addresses in the files must be in comma-separated valued (CSV) format, with each entry in the following format:

name, type, value

name is the name of the address list. type is the type of address and can be one of the following strings: IPv4-prefix, IPv4-range, IPv6-prefix, or IPv6-range. value is the IP address, subnet mask, or range.

You can create files that contain one or more URLs and URL reputations and then upload the file while you are adding the URL category. To use a file when you are configuring URL categories objects, you create a CSV file and then upload it. The URL and its reputation in the files must be in CSV format, with each entry in one of the following formats:

• string,url,url-reputation
• patterns,regex-pattern,url-reputation
