An edge profile is a set of policies that contain the security rules that you associate with your edges or edge groups. Based on the configured rules, a profile determines the actions that a user or service on your edge can perform on various resources and content.

An edge profile consists of one policy or a combination of policies you have configured, such as policies for firewalls, NAT, port forwarding, routing, and routing protocols. For more information, see Configuring Profiles and Edges and BloxOne Service Edge.

  • POLICIES: The number of policies associated with the profile. You can see details of the policies in the panel on the right or by clicking the number. The Policies dialog is displayed, and you can see the policy name and policy type included in the edge profile.
