A is correct but not least admin work

A is corrected, tested!

A correct

Select Add indicator and set the IP address to 171.23.34.32/27. The question asks what is going to save the admin time, entering IPs one at a time as suggested by A isn't the correct option.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for IP addresses is not supported https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/indicator-manage

answer A. lassless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for IP addresses isn't supported.

What Microsoft Copilot AI answers for this question: To add threat indicators for all the IP addresses in the range of 171.23.34.32-171.23.34.63 in Microsoft 365 Defender, follow these steps: Navigate to the Indicators setting: In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, go to Settings. Choose Cloud Apps. Under System, select IP address ranges. Add the IP address range: Select Add IP address range. Specify the following details: Name: Give a name to your IP range (used for management purposes). IP Address Range: Enter the range as 171.23.34.32-171.23.34.63. C is the correct answer

C and D are not supported. Tested and the system does not allow using the giving range format on these options. Since D is not supported hence, B is not supported either.

This approach is the most efficient because: The IP address range 171.23.34.32-171.23.34.63 can be represented using the CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation as 171.23.34.32/27. This notation efficiently covers all the IPs in the specified range. By creating an import file with this CIDR notation and importing it, you can add all the IP addresses in the range at once, significantly reducing the administrative effort compared to adding each IP address individually.

To add threat indicators for all the IP addresses in a range in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, you need to use the CIDR notation to specify the subnet that covers the range. The CIDR notation is a compact representation of an IP address and its associated routing prefix. It consists of an IP address followed by a slash and the number of bits in the prefix1. The IP address range of 171.23.34.32-171.23.34.63 can be represented by the CIDR notation of 171.23.34.32/27, which means that the first 27 bits of the IP address are fixed and the remaining 5 bits can vary2. This covers 32 possible IP addresses, from 171.23.34.32 to 171.23.34.63. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Select Add indicator and set the IP address to 171.23.34.32/27
