Chapter 10 Configuring Security Contexts
Configuring Resource Classes
Figure 10-8 shows the relationship between the default class and other classes. Contexts A and C belong
to classes with some limits set; other limits are inherited from the default class. Context B inherits no
limits from default because all limits are set in its class, the Gold class. Context D was not assigned to
a class, and is by default a member of the default class.

Class Members

To use the settings of a class, assign the context to the class when you define the context. All contexts
belong to the default class if they are not assigned to another class; you do not have to actively assign a
context to default. You can only assign a context to one resource class. The exception to this rule is that
limits that are undefined in the member class are inherited from the default class; so in effect, a context
could be a member of default plus another class.
Adding a Resource Class
For more information about resource classes, see the “Classes and Class Members Overview” section on
page 10-11.
To add a resource class, perform the following steps:
Step 1 If you are not already in the System configuration mode, in the Device List pane, double-click System
under the active device IP address.
Step 2 On the Context Management > Resource Class pane, click Add.
The Add Resource Class dialog box appears.
Step 3 In the Resource Class field, enter a class name up to 20 characters in length.
Step 4 In the Count Limited Resources area, set the concurrent limits for resources.
