Policy types
General information
The following categories define the high-level policy management functionality on the NFM-P:
-
Service management policies specify how service traffic is handled by network resources such as interfaces, ports, daughter cards, and circuits. The policies can be used by multiple resources on multiple services. Examples of service management policies include QoS policies, access ingress/egress policies, MSAP policies, and network policies.
-
Routing management policies specify routing configuration according to specifically defined parameters that override the default routing protocol decisions normally handled by the router. Routing management policies control the size and content of routing table, advertised routes, and best routes. Examples of routing management policies include routing policies (statement, prefix list, community, and damping), MPLS administrative group, and VRRP priority control-policies.
-
Network management policies specify how the NFM-P communicates with network resources, handles alarms, manages statistics used for billing, and stores information. Examples of network management policies include alarm, mediation, and accounting policies.
-
Security policies specify how the NFM-P handles the user security measures required to protect all NFM-P data, software, and hardware and monitor the system/network for any security threats. This includes creating policies required to set up NFM-P user accounts and user groups with the required scope of command roles and span of control permissions and the ongoing monitoring and management of those accounts. Examples of security policies include NE DoS/DDoS protection policies, NE password policies, RADIUS, TACAC+, and AOS/PKI authentication policies, and format and range policies.
