Before creating policies, review the default setting of NFM-P policy-related system preferences and customize them as required. For example, you can display or hide the policy names on policy configuration forms for certain types of local policies or enforce a restriction to the distribution mode for certain types of local policies that will permit local editing only. See the NSP System Administrator Guide for information about configuring policy-related system preferences.

Create the required policy; see
Table 49-3, Location of NFM-P policy information to help locate the appropriate policy information.
Note: For policies that require you to enter a name to identify the policy, you cannot use “N/A” for the policy name; the term N/A is restricted.
