•(Device or Policy view) Select Policy > Rename Po licy.

Modifying Shared Policy Definitions in Device View or the Site-to-Site VPN Manager
You can modify any shared policy in Device view or the Site-to-Site VPN Manager by selecting one of
the devices or VPN topologies to which the policy is assigned, making the necessary changes, and then
saving these changes to the Security Manager server. Any changes made to a shared policy in Device
view or the Site-to-Site VPN Manager automatically affect all devices to which the shared policy is
assigned.
Tip To apply your changes only to the device or VPN topology that you are modifying, you must first unshare
the policy (see Unsharing a Policy, page5-40). This action converts the policy to a local policy and
prevents your changes from affecting other devices or topologies.
