Add a Network Policy

This topic guides you through the basic steps to provide clients with network access via Extreme Networks devices. This process assumes that APs and routers have been deployed and have established secure CAPWAP connections with ExtremeCloud IQ. Switches do not use CAPWAP connections. Extreme Networks routers and APs run IQ Engine and communicate with ExtremeCloud IQ using CAPWAP on UDP port 12222 or CAPWAP-over-HTTP on TCP port 80. This is true whether they communicate with ExtremeCloud IQ on premises or in the cloud. Other supported devices communicate with ExtremeCloud IQ using HTTPS on TCP port 443.

The network policy configuration process is defined by sequential workflow tabs at the top of the page. Depending on where you are in the process, the related tab appears blue. These tabs are 1 Policy Details, 2 Wireless, 3 Switching, 4 SR/Dell Switching, 5 Branch Routing, and 6 Deploy Policy.

To add a new network policy, do the following:

Go to Configure > Network Policies.
Network policies display in a list () or in a thumbnail () format.
Select from the list view, or select Add Network Policy from the thumbnail view.
In the New Policy window, select a policy type: (Wireless, Switching, SR/Dell Switching, Branch Routing, or any combination, including all them).
Enter a name for the policy.
Enter an optional description.
Enable or disable Presence Analytics.
Enable this option to collect customer behavior data. After you enable it, go to the 2 Wireless workflow step, and from the left navigation bar, under Application Management, select Presence Analytics. This is where you configure analytics settings, such as trap interval, aging time, and aggregate time.
Select Save.
The highlighted tab changes from 1 Policy Details to 2 Wireless Networks, 3 Switching, 4 SR/Dell Switching, 5 Branch Routing and 6 Deploy Policy, depending on your configuration choices.
Configure Additional Settings, as necessary.

After you have configured the network policy, Deploy a Network Policy.
