Machine Groups

In this menu you can manage groups of machines, it lets you create groups and assign machines to each group. For instance, machine groups can be used to configure web proxy accesses. To insert a group of machines you have set:

• Group name: The name assigned to the group of machines;
• Group type
  • Machines Subnets: Depending on the used IP address, these groups of machines can be split into defined sizes;
  • Machines: If you choose this option and Insert, it's possible to assign existing network machines to the group;
• Machine count: If the group is a subnet of machines, you can choose the number of machines for the group;
• Subnet: This field defines the subnet for the group of machines. It represents the range of IP addresses concerning the defined group.

By clicking Insert, the group is created and its settings are displayed. On that screen you can see three links: Back to go back to the list; Modify to change the name of the present group; Delete to remove the machine group. We can see an example of a machine group at Figure 3.2 and the general list at Figure 3.1
