# Initial configuration

Adding IPs to a list is simple and intuitive using our [dashboard](https://dashboard.transparentcdn.com/).

First we must go to the "**IP Lists**" section in the left side panel, then click on the "**New List**" button, to create a new list.

### Creating a list

Now we need to complete the list information:

* Name of the list
* The "Active" button indicates whether the list is currently in use or not
* Description to easily identify the list
* Services that will be associated with this list

#### Add IPs / Networks to the list

There are 2 ways of adding IPs to the list:

* **Basic mode**: Add IP / Network with an optional description and TTL
* **Advanced mode**: Paste several IPs at the same time from your files or include the IPs separated by line breaks

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.transparentedge.eu/config/network-access-control-list/initial-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
