Working with Sets 2
The Network Setup database uses set entities to store collections of other entity
references. When network entities are grouped into sets, they can be activated
and deactivated as a group. All of the network entities in all of the sets reside in
a single area, so there are no limits on the way entities can be grouped. For
example, a single network connection entity can be referenced by multiple sets.
IMPORTANT
Sets contain entity references — not the entities
themselves.

Figure 2-1 shows the relationship between set entities, network connection
entities, and global protocol entities.
