To copy a policy

Purpose

You can copy an existing policy and assign the copied version a unique policy ID. However, you cannot use this procedure to overwrite an existing policy.

Steps
 

Choose Policies→Policy Type from the NFM-P main menu, where Policy Type is the type of policy you want to copy. The Policy Type manager form opens.


Choose Global or Local from the Policy scope drop-down menu. If you set it to Local, you must specify a Local Node IP Address by clicking Select and then choosing the required NE. Click OK.


Click Search and choose the policy you want to copy.


Click Properties. The Policy Type (Edit) form opens.


Choose Copy and configure the warning message as required. The copied Policy Type (Create) form opens. The form is set as a global policy in draft mode, regardless of whether you initially chose a global or local policy to copy.


Configure the parameters as required.

Note: If you need to configure the policy ID manually, you must assign a unique value. The NFM-P does not allow you to use the same ID as the policy you originally copied.


Save your changes and close the forms.
