Configure the Network Policy

A Network Policy is an assembly of configurations that ExtremeCloud IQ deploys to all devices. Because these configurations are set at the network policy level, you can apply them to multiple devices for a similar configuration. The network policy section has a Switching section for managing Switch Engine and Fabric Engine templates and settings.

The SR/Dell Switching section is separate. The availability of each section depends on the policy type selected on the Policy Details page. In contrast, device-level configurations apply only to individual devices. Device-level configurations override network policy-level configuration. For example, you can set a network policy to apply to all 5420 switches, but at the device level, you can customize one 5420 switch in a particular location. For more information about device-level configuration, see Configure Device-Specific Settings.

Note

Device Management settings do not put the device into device-level configuration mode as each device will likely have a unique setting (unique static IP).

Network Policy configuration options are available under the main Configure tab.
