Node Groups
Node groups are used to organize nodes into a set. This group will then become the basis for a
policy either allowing or denying access to this particular set of nodes. Nodes can be grouped
arbitrarily or by a set of common attributes.
If you used Guided Setup to create categories and elements for nodes, some means to organize
nodes along common attributes have already been created. CC-SG automatically creates default
access policies based on these elements. Please refer to Chapter 4: Associations for more details
on creating categories and elements.
To view existing node groups:
On the Associations menu, click Node Groups. The Node Groups Manager window
displays. A list of existing node groups is displayed on the left, while details about the
selected node group displays in the main panel.
Figure 88 The Node Group Manager

of the group in the node group manager.

nodes in the group and a nodes not in the group.
If the group was formed based on common attributes, the Describe Nodes tab will be
displayed showing the rules that govern selection of the nodes for the group.

the list, and then click Search. The method of searching is configured through the My Profile
