In many networks, subnets and IP address information reflect organizational distinctions, such as geographical location or job function. If IP address organization coincides with your needs, consider using this information to create and maintain parts or all of your System Tree structure by setting IP address sorting criteria for such groups.

This functionality has changed in this version of ePolicy Orchestrator, which now allows for setting of IP sorting criteria randomly through the tree — you no longer need to ensure that the child group’s IP address sorting criteria is a subset of the parent’s (as long as the parent has no assigned criteria).

Once configured, you can sort systems at agent-server communication, or only when a sort action is
manually initiated.

Please know that IP address sorting criteria should not overlap between different groups. Each
IP range or subnet mask in a group’s sorting criteria should cover a unique set of IP addresses.

If criteria does overlap, which group those systems end up in depends on the order of the subgroups on the Groups tab.
