Configure Cortex XSIAM network parameters

Define your internal IP address ranges and domain names to enable Cortex XSIAM to identify, track, and analyze network assets.

### **Define internal IP address ranges**

The **IP Address Ranges** page displays the address ranges that Cortex XSIAM Analytics monitors. Addresses are pre-populated with the default IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces. The names you define appear when investigating the network-related events in Cortex XSIAM.

You can add a new IP address range manually or upload IP address ranges from a CSV file.

How to define internal IP address ranges

1. Select **Inventory** → **Assets** → **Network Configuration** → **Internal IP Address Ranges**.
