How to setup an IP Set in Performance Cloud VMware (NSX-T)

Definition

IP sets are groups of IP Address(es) or IP range(s) to which the firewall rules apply. Combining multiple objects into IP sets helps to reduce the total number of firewall rules to create.

Important Notes

IP Sets are required when configuring firewall rules for IPSec VPN tunnels and for NAT.

Procedure
