Onboarding rules are used in conjunction with onboarding policies to give flexibility
when determining hotspot user access. Policies are matched to the hotspot user based
on onboarding rules. Then the matching policy with the highest precedence number is
used to onboard the hotspot user. Create onboarding policies before creating
onboarding rules.
To create an onboarding rule:
From the main menu, go to
Configure > Onboarding > Rules
The Onboarding Rules
screen displays with the following information:
Rule Name
Displays the user
configured rule name for each onboarding rule.
Policy Name
Displays the
Policy Name associated with each rule.
Location
Displays the
location associated with each rule. Locations are based on the
network associated with the rule.
Network
Displays the
network associated with each onboarding rule. A rule can also
apply to All
Networks.
Precedence
Displays the
precedence number for each onboarding rule. Precedence
determines which order rules are applied in with the higher
precedence rules matched first.
Action
Displays the
you can use to remove the associated onboarding rule
from ExtremeGuest Essentials.

Select the icon to remove onboarding rules.
Use the Network pull-down
menu to select the networks that the onboarding rule applies to. The default
value is All
Networks, which applies the rule to all networks.
Use the Location
pull-down menu to navigate the system tree and select the
location(s) to which the onboarding rule will apply.
Starting with this release
onboarding rule can be applied at any point on the location tree. You can either
select the endpoint of the location tree (representing an RF Domain) or a node
higher up in the tree. In the following screen shot, selecting 'Extremenetworks-CA107' applies the rule to both RF Domains
'CA107-SJC'
and 'CA107-SJC-1'.
In the following screen shot the rule has been applied only to the
'CA107-SJC' RF Domain.
When a client registration request is received from the network
specified in Step 4 above, the onboarding rule is applied only if the
client's RF Domain matches the locations specified here. In the above
scenario the match criteria is only 'CA107-SJC', whereas in the previous
scenario it is 'CA107-SJC' and 'CA107-SJC-1'. Once the 'Network' and
'Location' criteria match, the onboarding policy associated with the rule is
applied.
Use the Precedence Level
spinner control to assign a precedence to the rule. The precedence value of a
rule determines its priority.
Note
The lower the precedence
value, the higher the priority. Rules with lower precedence will be applied
first.
Select Apply when
complete to add the onboarding rule.
To remove multiple onboarding
rules from ExtremeGuest Essentials, select the boxes for each
policy then select the trashcan icon.
