Configure Classification Rules

Before you can use classification rules, you must create a network location, along with cloud config groups, IP addresses, and IP subnets.

You can create classification rules as part of a network policy or as a common object.

  • Configure Device Location rules to assign different DNS and RADIUS servers and different time zones to different physical locations.
  • Configure Cloud Config Groups (CCGs) to create user passwords which restrict access to private and personal network devices.
  • Configure IP Address classification rules to associate user groups so they can communicate using their own private networks.
  • Configure IP Subnet classification rules to support multiple user-group private networks.
  • Configure IP Range classification rules for multiple user-group private networks.

Use this task to create a classification rules common object. ExtremeCloud IQ supports multiple classification rules for DNS servers, VLANs, RADIUS servers, device templates, user groups, and private client groups (PCGs).
