Defining and Configuring AutoTracker Policies

You can define AutoTracker policies by port, MAC address, protocol, network address, user
definition, or port binding. You can define multiple policies for a mobile group or
AutoTracker VLAN if you wish. A port or device is included in a mobile group or AutoTracker
VLAN if it matches any one rule. For example, you can define rules based on ports, rules
based on MAC address, and rules based on protocol in the same mobile group or AutoTracker
VLAN. However, defining multiple rules is not trivial – exercise extreme care when you do so
and make sure that you understand the consequences of your definitions. In most situations,
it is advisable to use one of AutoTracker’s predefined rules.
The sections below provide directions for setting up each type of AutoTracker policy. Follow
the directions for the policy you wish to set up.

Where These Procedures Start

These policy configuration sections start in the middle of a sequence of steps with the crgp or
modatvl commands. During the crgp command prompt sequence you can configure polices
for mobile groups or for VLANs within non-mobile groups. The modatvl command contains an
option for adding policies (option #3). The procedures in these sections pick up at the point
after you choose to either to configure AutoTracker rules (crgp) or add more rules (modatvl).
