• End Stations lets you define specific hosts or groups of hosts by name as policy
objects for use in policy definitions. They dynamically translate into IP
addresses/ports when QoS rules are computed for configuration onto network
devices.
• Managed Devices shows you all devices currently being managed by ExtremeWare
Enterprise Manager. You can also set policy for Cisco devices using this function.
• Configuration lets you explicitly invoke the configuration of network devices based
on the policies you've defined. This process lets you inspect the inputs and results of
the QoS rule computation and configuration process before and after each step is
completed. Auto-configuration must be turned off to use this function.
• Import lets you import users, user groups, and end-station definitions from a
Windows NT domain controller or from a Solaris NIS server.
• Event Log displays a log of policy configuration commands and events.
Four buttons, a check box, and a Policy System State icon are provided at the top of the
Policy System page. These are, from left to right:
• Up—moves you one level higher in the component tree.
• New—displays a menu from which you can choose to create a new Policy or policy
object (User, User Group, End Station, End Station Group, or Port Set).
• Delete—lets you delete an item you've selected, after asking for confirmation.
• Create Policy—invokes a Policy Wizard that leads you through a set of interactive
steps to create a network policy.
• Auto. Configure—a check
on. An X in the box indicates that auto-configuration is turned off.
— Turn auto-configuration on or off by clicking the check box.
When auto-configuration is on, any changes made through the ExtremeWare
Enterprise Manager, directly on the switches, or by events such as users logging in
or out, will trigger automatic re-computation of QoS rules and re-configuration of
the affected network devices. When auto-configuration is off, computation and
configuration must be done explicitly from the Configuration page. This is discussed
in more detail in the section "Configuring QoS Policies" on page 8-55.
• Ready/Busy—indicates the state of the Policy System. The state is Busy when the
Policy System is computing QoS rules or configuring devices. Otherwise it is Ready.
