Configuring APIM to allow access based on ip range does not appear to recognize addressRange as a valid option. The addresses element is properly transformed to in the resulting XML. I followed an example, which configured the yml as follows:

# IP Validation APIM policies

```
ipFilters:
  - action: allow
    addresses: # List of allowed IP addresses
      - 1.1.1.1
      - 2.2.2.2
    addressRange: # Also optionally support range of IP addresses
      from: 1.1.1.1
      to: 2.2.2.2
  - action: forbid
    addresses: # List of forbidden IP addresses
      - 3.3.3.3
      - 4.4.4.4
    addressRange: # Also optionally support range of IP addresses
      from: 3.3.3.3
      to: 4.4.4.4

```
