Example:
/rcon banip 192.168.*.*
Now all players who will have 192.168. in beginning will not be able to connect to your server.
Keep in mind that a rangeban doesn't "ban" a player more than a normal ban. As in: if someone joins once your server to cheat, and you ban him, you'll never see him again. Only use rangebans if the cheater keeps coming back with the same range.
Eg: I'm a cheater and join your server once. I cheat on it, and you ban me. A normal ban. I've got static IP (my IP doesn't change), and I will never be able to join your server again.
My friend however, has dynamic IP and decides to bully your server. He keeps coming back. He has dynamic IP:
The first time he joins with 127.0.12.345
The second time with 127.0.67.89
The third time with 127.0.13.37
As you can see, the first 2 ranges always remain the same. In this case you could add a rangeban on him: 127.0.*.*
If someone uses proxies, there's nothing you can directly do. If a cheater joins like this:
The first time he joins with 127.0.12.345
The second time with 192.168.0.0
The third time with 255.255.255.255
These are 3 completely different ranges. A rangeban here wouldn't work...
