Associating a Policy List with a Profile

Profiles can have different policy lists associated with each device. Unlike policy lists, which are device-wide objects, profiles are network-wide objects. For this reason, you must associate a policy list with a profile from the Device Workshop. Each profile can have three policy lists associated with it for each device.

To associate a policy list with a profile:

1. From the Device-wide Explorer, double-click Profiles.

All available profiles are listed in the list area.

2. Click a profile name from the list, right-click, and click Configure.

The Profile Config tab appears in the work area.

3. In the Policy Information group box, in the row where you want to specify the policy list, click to the right of the Policy Name column.

For example, if you select Output, the Associate Policy for Output dialog box appears.

4. Select a policy list name in the list.
5. (Optional) View the policy list attributes by clicking the View button.

The View Policy List dialog box appears.

1. Click any rule in the Rules Information list to view the attributes associated with that rule. Attributes cannot be edited from this dialog box.
2. Close the dialog box by clicking .

6. Click OK.
7. (Optional) Repeat Steps 3-6 for the two remaining types.
8. (Optional) Enable statistics by selecting the Statistics Enabled box to the right of each policy name.

The policy name appears in the text box to the right of the type (Input, Output, or Secondary-Input) on the Policy Configuration tab.

9. Click Save.

The policy list(s) are associated with the profile you selected.
