Configure Service Node Groups

For supported software information, click here.

A service node group is a logical grouping of network services, which include individual network services (for example, NAT, DHCP, and NTP). Additionally, various policies and quotas can be applied for the service node group (for example, elastic policy, traffic policing, and shaping). The service node group determines the services that are enabled for an organization, that is, the services that are hosted on the Versa Operating System^TM (VOS^TM) device.
