Policy Setting
Q: How many groups/templates/user-defined patterns does the
DFL-M510 support?
A:
Group: 10 groups
Template: 20 templates (built-in templates included)
User-defined rule: 512 rules
Q: What is the “Default Group” used for?
A:
All
users belong to the Default group.
Q: Why is there Priority for each group in the DFL-M510?
A:
If the host belongs to multiple groups, the policy will be different. For example, John
belongs to Group A and Group B. The two group’s policies are different. DFL-M510
differentiates based on group priority.
Q: Are Hosts able to belong to multiple Groups at the same time?
A:
Yes, hosts can belong to multiple groups. But the policy will be different. The policy
will depend on group priority.
Q: Why can the template only be applied to a pre-defined group?
Why can it not be applied to a single host?
A:
It is true that the user cannot apply the modified rule template to a single user. The
user has to add the specified host into a host group before applying the rule template on
it. We’re doing this because we figured it’s more convenient to divide Intranet hosts into
different groups, and the administrator can define different templates accordingly. It
makes more sense to operate on group level than host level because in general there
are not many different templates in SME, and the policies applied to a host don’t tend to
change too often. Moreover, in our design a host can belong to different groups and
