Working with Variable Sets
In the next example, you add
Var1
with the value 192.168.1.0/24 to Custom Set 1 as in the previous

Var1
as the default value in other sets.
This approach adds
Var1
to all sets with a default value of
any
. After adding
Var1,
you can customize
its value in any set. An advantage of this approach is that, by not initially customizing
Var1
in the default
set, you decrease your risk of customizing the value in the default set and thus inadvertently changing
the current value in a set such as Custom Set 2 where you have not customized
the current value in a set such as Custom Set 2 where you have not customized
Var1
.
