Network Access Groups screen
Before VC 3.30, any server profile could be assigned any set of networks. If policy dictated that some
networks should not be accessed by a system that accessed other networks (for example, the Intranet and the
Extranet) there was no way to enforce that policy automatically.
With VC 3.30 and later, network access groups are defined by the network administrator and associated
with a set of networks that can be shared by a single server. Each server profile is associated with one
network access group. A network cannot be assigned to the server profile unless it is a member of the network
access group associated with that server profile. A network access group can contain multiple networks.
Up to 128 network access groups are supported in the domain. Ethernet networks and server profiles that are
not assigned to a specific network access group are added to the domain Default network access group
automatically. The Default network access group is predefined by VCM and cannot be removed or renamed.
