Policy Tab Overview
The Policy tab simplifies the configuration of policies on networks, and deploys the policies on multiple devices throughout the switch fabric.
With the Policy tab, you can create policy profiles, called roles, assigned to the ports in your network. These roles provide four key policy features: traffic containment, traffic filtering, traffic security, and traffic prioritization. When authentication is enabled, users identify themselves to the network and are given customized access capabilities based on the role they serve in the organization.
Using the Policy tab configuration tools, you can create multiple roles tailored to your specific needs, and set a default role for all or some of your network devices and ports. Basic Policy tab operations include creating, editing, and deleting roles. You can also view role configuration on a per device and per port basis. In addition, the Policy tab allows you to verify the roles enforced on your network device match the roles currently configured in the application. The Policy tab supports a maximum of 1,000 devices (25,000 ports) and 50 roles per policy domain, and can process a maximum of 250 classification rules with a maximum of 50 classification rules per role.
