IP Address Group

An IP address group is a collection of IP addresses. It can be associated with security groups and network ACLs to simplify IP address configuration and management.

You can add IP address ranges and IP addresses that need to be managed in a unified manner to an IP address group. An IP address group can work together with different cloud resources. Table 1 lists the resources that can be associated with an IP address group.
