Creating and Managing Policies

Build and test policies in the Policies tab (Config Management tab > Policy Design Center side tab > Policies tab).

Configure rule and policy filters carefully. It is possible to inadvertently specify mutually exclusive filters such that a policy would not apply to any configuration file.

A policy consists of the following:

• Properties: name, short name, author's name, and description.

• Rule(s): one or more rules selected from those available in the Rules tab.

• Device filter: limiting the policy to devices with attributes and/or config files containing certain commands.
