Policy Rules

You can define policy rules for a role to specify network access settings for a specific user role. Network policies are a set of rules, defined in a specific order, that determine how connections are authorized or denied. If you do not define policy rules for a role, the role's default action is applied to all traffic subject to that role. However, if you require user-specific filter definitions, then the filter ID configuration identifies the specific role that is applied to the user.

ExtremeWireless supports IPv6 prefixes specified in policy filter rules. With a few considerations:
  • You cannot configure Captive Portal Redirection using IPv6 classifiers. While you can http to IPv6 websites, you cannot apply Captive Portal redirection to http [s] over IPv6 .
  • Application visibility rules are ignored for http[s] flows over IPv6.
