Each location added to the Global Manager automatically becomes a region. You can also create customized regions.
Use regions to create focused groups for security and networking policies. Some regions are created automatically after you onboard locations in
Global Manager. You can add more regions as necessary.
Note: Each location can be a part of only one customized region.
The following regions are added by default:
- A Global region including all the locations added to the Global Manager.
- One region for each location added to the Global Manager.
- Name of the region.
- Locations included in the region.
- Groups the region belongs to.
- Security/Network policies the region is a part of.
Prerequisites
Refer to Security in NSX Federation for details on the implication of the span of regions and groups in creating and maintaining security policies and rules.
