Use the Add Blocked IP Address Range dialog box on the Blocked Addresses tab to add a range of IP addresses to the IP Block list for the local computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed and to specify a day and time when the IP Block list entry that you are creating will expire.
If you have more than one instance of the Edge Transport server role running in your organization, you must apply connection filter configuration changes to each computer.
