To configure an Auto-ID range for policies

Before you begin

NEs that support next-generation CLI use the policy name as the key for internal system reference. For these NEs, a policy ID is also configurable. If a policy ID is not configured, the system auto-assigns a numerical policy ID. When the policy is distributed to an NE, the auto-assigned ID is generated from a specified range of values.

Perform this procedure to configure a numerical range on the NE for auto-assigned policy IDs.

Before you change an existing range configuration on an NE, you must delete any policies on the NE that have IDs within the existing range.

If you configure a range that comprises a policy ID that already exists on the NE, deployment fails.

Steps


1	On the equipment tree, right-click on a supporting NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.
2	Click on the Globals tab, and then the Policies tab.
3	For each policy type, configure the start and end values for the ID range.
4	Save your changes and close the form. End of steps
