Set Up Dynamic Address Groups on Panorama
A security group is a logical container that
assembles guests across multiple ESXi hosts in the cluster. When
you create a dynamic address group that meets the right criteria
and commit your changes, a corresponding security group is created
on the NSX Manager. Creating security groups are required to manage
and secure the guests; to understand how security groups enable
policy enforcement, see Policy
Enforcement using Dynamic Address Groups.
