How should the service group and connector group be defined for configuring source IP anchoring?

The configuration of source IP anchoring requires a systematic and structured approach, which is effectively achieved by defining the service group and connector group as part of the configuration steps. This approach ensures that these groups are set up to properly handle the specific requirements of the network traffic and user behaviors involved in the process.

Defining the service group and connector group during the configuration steps allows for a comprehensive understanding of how different network components interact. It ensures that source IP anchoring is implemented in a coherent manner, facilitating optimal routing of traffic based on user IP addresses and ensuring consistency in user experiences. This process is critical for maintaining connectivity and security while adhering to the policies set within the Zscaler platform.

In contrast, the other approaches described could lead to misconfigurations or inefficient handling of network traffic. For instance, defining groups based on user roles might overlook the technicalities needed for the anchoring process. Similarly, independently defining groups without considering application segments could create disjunctions in traffic flow. Lastly, trying to proportionally size the groups according to traffic load may not align with the strategic configuration needed for proper anchoring implementation.
