ExtremeAnalytics Application Flows Tab Report Features

Policy
Select Policy and select Create Policy Rule to open the Create Policy Rule window, which allows you to create a UDP or TCP rule using the IP port. You can also enter a Rule Name, if applicable. In the Policy Manager domain that you select, two services are created, each with their own rule: one that is server-based and one that is client-based. For example, for an SNMP flow, the following two rules would be created:
  • Client Traffic - To Server Port: snmp[161]
  • Server Traffic - From Server Port: snmp[161]

Optionally, the IP address of the flow can be used when creating the rule, which would add the IP address to the rule name, for example:
  • Client Traffic - To Server Port: snmp[161](10.20.30.131)
  • Server Traffic - From Server Port: snmp[161](10.20.30.131)

These are simplified rules that have no associated action and are not added to any roles. You must use Policy Manager to configure actions for the rules and assign them to the appropriate role.
