Create an Egress Policy for a Device

An egress policy (or listener policy) defines the actions to apply to outbound packets.

About this task

Take the following steps to define the criteria for a policy. Each set of criteria is a rule. A policy can contain multiple rules.

Note

This topic applies only to Extreme 9920 devices.

1. In the Navigation menu, select Configure.
2. In the Devices panel, select the device for which you want to create a policy.
3. Select the Configurations tab.
4. In the Device Config menu, select Add Policy.
5. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the policy.
   An egress policy cannot have the same name as an ingress policy or another egress policy.
6. In the Policy Type field, select Egress Policy.
7. Select the Sequence in which to apply the rule.
8. Select a policy Match.

   If you did not create a policy rule match, select Create Match to create the match now.

   You cannot use the same policy rule match multiple times in a policy. Rule match usage is limited to one per policy.

9. In the Packet Slicing field, enter a value to represent the maximum packet size after slicing.
   The final packet size will be less than or equal to this value.
10. In the Header Stripping field, select one or more tags to strip: 802.1BR, VLAN, or VN (Virtual NIC).
    The 802.1BR and VN tags cannot coexist in the same policy rule action.
11. In the VLAN field, select the VLAN ID to target the VLAN tag in the egress packet.
12. To remove the outer tunnel headers from the packet, select Decap.
13. To prevent the rule from being used in the policy, select Deny.
    

    Tip

    This option prevents the rule from being used, but does not delete the configuration of the rule. The rule is skipped and is not used to drop a packet. You can reinstate the rule later without having to reconfigure it.
14. Select Add.
    The rule parameters appear in the pane on the right.
15. Repeat steps 7 through 14 until you have added all the rules you need.
16. Save (✔) your selections.
