The Extreme Networks NetSight Policy Manager

Extreme Networks NetSight Policy Manager is a management GUI that automates the definition and enforcement of network-wide policy rules. It eliminates the need to configure policies on a device-by-device basis using complex CLI commands. The Policy Manager‘s GUI provides ease of classification rule and policy role creation, because you only define policies once using an easy to understand point and click GUI— and regardless of the number of moves, adds or changes to the policy role, Policy Manager automatically enforces roles on Extreme Networks security-enabled infrastructure devices.

This document presents policy configuration from the perspective of the CLI. Though it is possible to configure policy from the CLI, CLI policy configuration in even a small network can be prohibitively complex from an operational point of view. It is highly recommended that policy configuration be performed using the NetSight Policy Manager. The NetSight Policy Manager provides:

• Ease of rule and policy role creation
• The ability to store and and retrieve roles and policies
• The ability, with a single click, to enforce policy across multiple devices

The official Policy Manager documentation is accessed using online help from within the application. This online documentation completely covers the configuration of policy in a Policy Manager context. For access to the Policy Manager data sheet or to setup a demo of the product, see .
