Create Virtual and Physical Network Configuration Window


If your network uses the Extreme Networks Data Center Manager product, you can use this window to create new virtual and physical network configurations. You can launch this window from the Manage Data Center Fabric window.

The information you enter in this window is used to automatically create the following configuration components:

  • Policy Manager Role. A role is created in Policy Manager within the appropriate domains (based on the switches associated with the NAC Configuration and the Policy Manager domains to which the switches belong) using the specified group name as the role name. Policy Manager verifies a VLAN exists and if necessary, it creates it using the specified VLAN ID. Forward is set as tagged/untagged for the VLAN according to the checkbox value.
  • Policy/VLAN mapping. A new policy mapping is created using the specified group name, and the policy role and VLAN information.
  • NAC profile. A NAC profile is created using the specified group name and the new access policy.
  • NAC End-System Group. A new MAC end-system group is created using the specified group name. The settings configured in this window are saved in the new end-system group’s description.
  • NAC Rule. A new rule is created using the specified group name and the new MAC end-system group.

For more information and example configuration scenarios, see the NMS Data Center Manager User Guide (version 9034586-02), section 4.1, DCM Configuration in NAC Manager, available on the Network Management Suite (NMS) Documentation web page:https://extranet.extremenetworks.com/downloads/Pages/NMS.aspx.
