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


1	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.
2	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.
3	Click Search and choose the policy you want to copy.
4	Click Properties. The Policy Type (Edit) form opens.
5	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.
6	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.
7	Save your changes and close the forms. End of steps
