Add/Edit Location Group


Use this window to add a new location group or edit an existing location group. Location Groups are rule components that enable you to specify network access requirements or restrictions based on the network location where the end-user is connecting. For example, in an enterprise environment, an engineer logging on to the network from the corporate cafeteria could receive different network access than an engineer logging on from the engineering development area.

You can access the Add/Edit Location Group window by accessing the ExtremeControl tab and selecting ExtremeControl Configurations > Group Editor > Location Groups in the left-panel menu and selecting the Add button in the right panel.

  NOTE: Changes to rule components do not require an enforce. Changes are automatically synchronized with engines on the next status update. Changes do not affect end-systems until the next authentication and/or assessment occurs.
