Policy Classification Configuration
This chapter describes the Policy Classification set of commands and how to use them.
Policy Classification Configuration Summary
G ‐ Series devices support policy profile ‐ based provisioning of network resources by allowing IT
administrators to:
• Create, change or remove policy profiles based on business ‐ specific use of network services.
• Permit or deny access to specific services by creating and assigning classification rules which
map user profiles to protocol ‐ based frame filtering policies configured for a particular Class of
Service (CoS).
• Assign or unassign ports to policy profiles so that only ports activated for a profile will be
allowed to transmit frames accordingly.
Configuring Policy Profiles
Purpose
To review, create, change and remove user profiles that relate to business ‐ driven policies for
managing network resources.

Note: It is recommended that you use Enterasys Networks NetSight Policy Manager as an
alternative to CLI for configuring policy classification on the G-Series devices.
Note: B3, C3, and G3 devices support profile-based CoS traffic rate limiting only. Policy rules
specifying CoS will only rate limit on C2 and B2 devices, including when they are configured on
mixed stacks containing B3 and C3 devices.
