About Express Policy Settings

The Express Policy Setup feature lets you configure the parameters for a new basic ExtremeCloud IQ network policy. These parameters include network policy name, authentication type, wireless network (SSID) name, captive web portal, and user group. After you save these parameters, you can configure additional parameters and deploy your network policy.

ExtremeCloud IQ requires only one network policy for all network devices, but can support hundreds of network policies. ExtremeCloud IQ Connect supports up to three network policies.
