Creating policy sets in the EMC

Policy sets are an ordered list of policies that can be applied to one or more virtual circuits in one or more appliance groups.

Policy sets can be created in the Policy Set Library directly and then later assigned to an Optimizer Policy Tree, or they can be created in an Optimizer Policy Tree. When saved in an Optimizer Policy Tree, they are also saved to the Configuration Library for use elsewhere. The policy sets within a tenant must have unique names. When a policy set is modified, all uses of it are modified.

There are a few default policy sets that you can use or modify. They correspond to the defined configuration when the wizard is run on the appliance. The different policy sets are due to varying answers to the wizard questions.

To learn how Circuits, Virtual Circuits, Policy Sets, and Policy Rules work together, see Policy Tree.
