IP grouping dedicates a set of IP addresses to a certain group to limit a user’s accessibility to these IP addresses, depending on the user’s access rights.
IP grouping helps you better manage IP addresses and troubleshoot easily when you have issues with IP addresses. You can define the range of IP addresses and grant access rights to a certain user or a group. The specified user or group can only access the IP addresses defined in the IP group and manipulate as needed. This feature is especially useful when there are multiple IP networks with large number of addresses. You can group the IP addresses based on user, department, or tasks.
Before you begin
You need to have IPv4 blocks and networks created before you configure IPv4 IP groups. For more information, refer to Working with IPv4 blocks and Working with IPv4 networks.
