Device Action Manager Rule Sets are applied to your network using the Structure & Tags pane. The section Overriding Configuration Settings in this topic provides a brief description of how permissions and configurations are inherited throughout the AirDefense managed network.
To apply a Device Action Manager Rule Set to any level of the AirDefense network tree, navigate to that level in the hierarchy using the Structure & Tags pane.
Select the Override option to indicate that you are overriding the inherited configurations starting at this level. The rules that are inherited from this level's parent level are enabled.
Use the option control before each rule to include or exclude it from being applied at this level in the AirDefense hierarchy. These rules will be inherited and applied to all levels that are below this level in the AirDefense hierarchy.
The Enable Configuration switch is only available at the top most node of the Structure & Tags pane. Configurations can only be applied when this switch is set to ON. The top most node is always named ADSP and you must use this switch to apply the selected configuration through out the Extreme AirDefense system.
By default, any level in the Structure & Tags pane always inherits configuration from the level above it unless explicitly overridden.
Since Extreme AirDefense manages its devices using a hierarchy that is configured using the Structure & Tags pane, all the nodes under the top ADSP node inherit the configurations set at that node. However, you can override the inherited configuration at any level in the hierarchy.
To override the inherited settings, in the Structure & Tags
pane, select the node where you want to override the inherited configuration. Then
from the control, select the Override option. Note
that the Inherited from
: control always displays the name of the level from which the
configuration settings are inherited from. Use this information to orient your self
on how the configurations are inherited.
Change the configuration for the selected level as required and then use the APPLY button to implement the modified configuration settings. These settings will now be inherited by all levels below the selected level unless a sub-level has been explicitly overridden.
