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.
