To configure an exclusive policy editing restriction on an NE

Before you begin

You can enable or disable an exclusive policy editing restriction on one or more NEs. When enabled, this prevents any local policy definitions that reside on the NE from being changed by a global policy update. You can also remove any exclusive edit locks that were previously set for the selected NE(s).

Note: This procedure can only be performed by admin users or users with an assigned policy management scope of command role.

Note: This functionality is not supported on all devices.

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, right-click on an NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.

Note: You can perform this procedure on multiple NEs if needed. Select the required NEs from the navigation tree, right-click on any one of them, and then select Properties.

Click on the Globals tab. The Load Balancing tab is displayed.

Click on the Exclusive Edit tab.

    Note: The Reset Exclusive Edit option is also available in global routing policies under the Local Definitions tab.
