Description

This script adds or removes IP addresses or IP address ranges to/from existing Receive Connectors. The input file can contain more than one IP address (range), one entry per line. The IP address parameter can be used to add a single IP address. The script creates a new sub directory beneath the current location of the script. The script utilizes the directory as a log directory to store the current remote IP address ranges prior modification.
