Policies

Routing protocol applications use policies to control the use of routing information on a switch. With
Ridgeline you create policies which you can attach to roles When you define policies, you can
selectively permit a set of routes (or deny) based on their attributes for advertisements of the routing
domain. The routing protocol application can modify the routing information attributes, based on policy
statements.
You attach a policy to a VM where you can enable tracking on a switch on which Identity Management
is enabled.
Ridgeline supports two policy types:
Identity Management
●
VM mobility
●

Role Hierarchy

You can create roles in a hierarchy to reflect different organizational and functional structures.
Figure 199 illustrates a role hierarchy.
