A network segment is a range of IP addresses that can be used to group computers and mobile devices based on their network location. Network segments can be class B or class C subnets, or any IP range therein.
Adding network segments to Jamf Pro allows you to do the following:
Ensure that computers and mobile devices use the closest distribution point by default.
Ensure that computers use the closest NetBoot server by default.
Specify a software update server for computers to use by default.
Automatically update the building and department to which computers and mobile devices belong.
Base the scope of remote management tasks on network segments.
If a computer belongs to multiple network segments, Jamf Pro uses and updates both IP addresses to distribute content.
