Configure an Agent Group

You can manage Agents that protect a common resource more efficiently by creating an Agent group. All Agents in a group must be of the same type.

Note: The following procedure assumes you are creating a new object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object. More information exists in Duplicate Policy Server Objects.

To configure an Agent group

1. Click Infrastructure, Agent Group, Create Agent Group.

   The Create Agent Group pane opens.

2. Verify that Create a new object is selected, and click OK.

   The Create Agent Group: Name pane opens.

   Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

3. Type the name and a description of the Agent group in the fields on the General group box.
4. Select the Agent Style and Agent Type on the Agent Type group box.

   Note: An Agent group can only contain one type of agent, for example, all Web Agents, all Affiliate Agents, or all RADIUS Agents.

5. Click Add/Remove on the Group Members group box.

   The Choose agents pane opens.

   Note: Only Agents of the specified Agent type are listed in the Available Members column. For example, if the specified Agent Style is Radius and the specified Agent Type is 3-Com, only 3-Com Agents are listed. If the specified Agent Type is Generic Radius, all RADIUS Agents are listed.

6. Select one or more Agents from the list of Available Members, and click the right-facing arrows.

   The Agents are removed from the list of Available Members and added to the list of Selected Members.

   Note: To select more than one member at a time, hold down the Ctrl key while you click on the additional members. To select a block of members, click on the first member and then hold down the Shift key while you click on the last member in the block.

7. Click OK.

   The selected Agents are added to the Agent group.

8. Click Submit.

   The Create Agent Group Task is submitted for processing.
