Organizing Rules; Deleting Policies - Extreme Networks Policy Manager User Manual

Organizing Rules

Rules can be organized to function within a policy in two ways. As discussed earlier in the rule creation
process (on page 38), the user can either determine the order in which the rules are to be read or call the
EPM algorithm that assigns an efficient order based on the specificity of the rules. The existing rule
order can then be changed in the following ways.
Reassign rule ranks using the EPM algorithm by choosing Policy > Recalculate rule ranks from the
●
menu. Use this command when rules have been added or deleted from an existing policy or when
the original ranks were determined without using the algorithm.
Rearrange the rules according to rank. by choosing Policy > Reorder rules by rank. When this
●
command is chosen, the following box is displayed allowing the user to maintain the existing
ranking or change it.
Return all rules to their original order by choosing Policy > Reorder rules by initial position. When
●
this command is chosen, a Rule Location Notice box is displayed stating that "Any new rules added
since the policy was loaded will appear at the top of the rule list in all views."

Deleting Policies

Policies are deleted from the policy folder in the program files rather than through the EPM application.
