Configuring a Host Name Rule

DNS-based rules are defined as custom L7 signatures. ExtremeWireless matches the defined pattern to the corresponding IP address. Take the following steps to configure a rule that allows mobile clients to authenticate using credentials from a specific host.

  1. Go to VNS > Roles > Policy Rules and click Add.
  2. Create a new filter definition. For more information, see Understanding the Filter Rule Definition Dialog.
  3. On the Filter Rule Definition dialog, select the L7 radio button.
  4. Select the link Custom Web Applications.
  5. Click the plus button and configure the parameters on the Custom Web Application dialog.
    Specify Type = Host name. The Host Name type differentiates the definition from other extended signatures.
