Incorporate Into A Policy - Extreme Networks Policy Manager User Manual

Incorporate into a Policy

When the single rule that was found is to be added to an existing policy, the copy/paste function is
probably most efficient. Use the following procedure.
1 Right-click the now selected rule and choose Copy from the resulting menu. Close the current (or
source) policy and open the policy into which the rule is to be copied (target). Right-click an existing
rule and choose the desired Paste command from the menu.
NOTE
The Copy/Paste function can be used only with an already populated policy.
When one or more rules that were found are to be the beginning of a new policy, the export function
simplifies the process. Use the following procedure.
1 In this example, mark the rule either from the Search Policy box, before closing, or from the right-
click menu. From the menu, choose File > Export To... > Policy File. In the Save box that opens, type
a new file name (in this case ExportTest.pol) and click Save. When the export is successful, a
Validation Notice is displayed confirming the export. Click OK. From the menu, choose File > Open
> Local and select ExportTest.pol to see the new policy with the rule, ACL_UDP. Additional rules
can be added either by creating new ones, using copy/paste from other policies, importing and/or
exporting.
2 When the new policy is complete, it can be validated. From the menu, choose Policy > Validate &
Check. The EPM checks the policy and validates it or returns notice of problems.
3 Save the new policy to a switch when it is complete.
4 Exit the EPM.
