(Conditional) You can perform the following tasks to manage individual servers in any of
the server lists (Collection, Content, Configuration, and Authentication):
IP Address /n
Matches IP addresses that fall within the specified CIDR (Classless Inter-
Domain Routing) block. With CIDR, the dotted decimal portion of the IP
address is interpreted as a 32-bit binary number that has been broken into
four 8-bit bytes. The number following the slash (/n) is the prefix length, which
is the number of shared initial bits, counting from the left side of the address.
The /n number can range from 0 to 32, with 8, 16, 24, and 32 being
commonly used numbers. Examples:
123.45.678.12/16: Matches all IP addresses that start with 123.45.
123.45.678.12/24: Matches all IP addresses that start with 123.45.678.

Additional Details
Add a server to a
list
1. In the desired server list
(Collection, Content,
Configuration, or
Authentication), click
Add
.
2. Browse for and select one or
more ZENworks Servers or
Satellites.
3. Click
OK
to add the selected
servers to the list.
By default, ZENworks Servers
support all functions (Collection,
Content, Configuration, and
Authentication). Therefore, all
ZENworks Servers are available for
selection in any of the server lists.
Satellites, however, can be
configured for specific roles
(Collection, Content, Imaging, and
Authentication). This has the
following implications:
When selecting Satellites for
the Collection Server list, only
those Satellites that are
assigned the Collection role
are available for selection.
When selecting Satellites for
the Authentication Server list,
only those Satellites that are
assigned the Authentication
role are available for selection.
When selecting Satellites for
the Content Server list, only
those Satellites that are
assigned the Content role or
Imaging role are available for
selection.
Satellites do not fulfill the
Configuration role. Therefore,
they cannot be added to the
Configuration Server list.
Satellite roles are configured in the
Server Hierarchy panel on the
Configuration tab.
