User's Guide

Use the option control before each rule to include or exclude it from being applied at this level in the
AirDefense hierarchy. These rules will be inherited and applied to all levels that are below this level in the
AirDefense hierarchy.
Overriding Configuration Settings
The Enable Configuration switch is only available at the top most node of the Structure & Tags pane.
Configurations can only be applied when this switch is set to ON. The top most node is always named
ADSP and you must use this switch to apply the selected configuration through out the Extreme
AirDefense system.
By default, any level in the Structure & Tags pane always inherits configuration from the level above it
unless explicitly overridden.
Since Extreme AirDefense manages its devices using a hierarchy that is configured using the Structure
& Tags pane, all the nodes under the top ADSP node inherit the configurations set at that node.
However, you can override the inherited configuration at any level in the hierarchy.
To override the inherited settings, in the Structure & Tags pane, select the node where you want to
override the inherited configuration. Then from the
control, select the
Override option. Note that the Inherited from : control always displays the name of the level from
which the configuration settings are inherited from. Use this information to orient your self on how the
configurations are inherited.
Change the configuration for the selected level as required and then use the APPLY button to
implement the modified configuration settings. These settings will now be inherited by all levels below
the selected level unless a sub-level has been explicitly overridden.
Run Device Action Manager Rule Sets Manually
Device Action Manager Rule Sets can be run manually on demand. Use the icon located to the top
right of the Device Action Manager screen.
The Action Rules on Demand dialog displays.
