## Configuration <a href="#configuration" id="configuration"></a>

This section provides configuration details specific to the Blocklist integration. The Blocklist integration is designed to manage and control access based on various factors, allowing administrators to set rules for blocking or allowing specific IP addresses or ranges. Here's an explanation of the fields you'll need to configure:

| Field        | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                 | Examples         |
| ------------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| `Factors`    | yes      | Specifies the criteria to be considered for the blocklist, such as source IP address.                                                                       | `srcip`          |
| `Expiration` | no       | Defines the number of seconds the blocklist will remain active. This helps in temporary blocking if needed.                                                 | `3600`           |
| `Max`        | no       | Sets the maximum limit on the number of blocks that can be applied. Useful for controlling resource consumption.                                            | `1000`           |
| `Allow List` | no       | Specifies one or many Allow Lists configured in the Netography Portal, or a specific list of IPs or IP/CIDR addresses that are exempted from being blocked. | `192.168.1.0/24` |
| `Aggregate`  | no       | Enables the aggregation of IP addresses by mask length. This can be used to group similar or related IP addresses together for more efficient management.   | `/24`, `/32`     |
