[SOLVED] Silly question on firewall aliases

[mimitair]

Say I have a Home vlan on 192.168.10.x/24 and a Guest vlan on 192.168.20.x/24.
I then create an alias encompassing the private IP addresses defined by the RFC1918 (10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x/16).
I then want to block all traffic coming in the guest vlan interface that is going out to the Home network. Does the 192.168.x.x/16 network in the alias also encompass the 192.168.10.x/24 network? Or should I add an extra network in the alias of private IP addresses specifically stating 192.168.10.x/24?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Kind regards

RFC1918 is the definition/standard that includes all Private addresses, so it will include all Private addresses and networks.
