Chapter 9 Managing Policy Elements

Managing Authorizations and Permissions

Creating and Editing Security Groups

Use this page to view names and details of security groups and security group tags (SGTs), and to open pages to create, duplicate, and edit security groups.

When you create a security group, ACS generates a unique SGT. Network devices can query ACS for SGT information. The network device uses the SGT to tag, or paint, packets at ingress, so that the packets can be filtered at Egress according to the Egress policy. See Egress Policy Matrix Page, page 10-45, for information on configuring an Egress policy.

Step 1

Select Policy Elements > Authorizations and Permissions > Network Access > Security Groups.

 

The Security Groups page appears as described in Table 9-7:
