Policy Classification Configuration

This chapter describes the Policy Classification set of commands and how to use them.

Matrix E1 Series devices support policy profile-based provisioning of network resources by

allowing IT administrators to:

•Create, change or remove user roles or profiles based on business-specific use of network

services.

•Permit or deny access to specific services by creating and assigning classification rules which

map user profiles to frame filtering policies.

•Assign or unassign ports to policy profiles so that only ports activated for a profile will be

allowed to transmit frames accordingly.

Use the following steps as a guide to configure policy classification on the device:

1. Configuring policy profiles (Section 8.3.1)

2. Assigning classification rules to policy profiles (Section 8.3.2)

3. Assigning ports to policy profiles (Section 8.3.3)

NOTE: It is recommended that you use Enterasys Networks NetSight Atlas Policy

Manager as an alternative to CLI for configuring policy classification on Matrix E1 Series

devices.
