Add a Management Group

Management inventory groups contain SDDC infrastructure components. Use these groups in management gateway firewall rules.

Pre-defined management inventory groups are created automatically for SDDC infrastructure components such as vCenter and NSX Manager. You cannot modify a pre-defined management group, but you can create additional management inventory groups by specifying the CIDR blocks to which group members are connected.

Procedure

1. Log in to the VMware Cloud on AWS GovCloud at https://www.vmc-us-gov.vmware.com/.
2. On the Networking & Security tab, click Inventory > Groups.
3. On the Groups card, click MANAGEMENT GROUPS, then click ADD GROUP and give the group a Name and an optional Description.
4. Click Set Members to open the Select Members page.
   Enter one or more IP addresses of management VMs in CIDR format.
5. (Optional) Tag the group.

   See Add Tags to an Object in the NSX-T Data Center Administration Guide for more information about tagging NSX-T objects.

6. Click SAVE to create the group.

What to do next
