Understanding
tagging filter groups and settings
The tagging
filter groups and settings provide a means to create an IP tag filter
and specify a unique tag for each group of systems that are using
the same but locally distinct IP addresses. Because the tags enable
the
IP Manager
to
distinguish between overlapping addresses belonging to different customers,
the IP Manager
is
able to represent the customer-related overlapping IP addresses in
the modeled topology.Each discovered system that meets the
defined matching criteria for an IP tag filter group is subjected
to a second line of filtering defined by the parameters defined in
the group’s setting, including a user-specified tag and a range of
overlapping IP addresses. In this way, different filtering values
can be applied to different groups of systems.
