Configuring Virtual Context Global Traffic Policies
With the ACE Appliance Device Manager, you can apply traffic policies to a specific VLAN interface
or to all VLAN interfaces in the same virtual context.
Use this procedure to apply a policy to all VLAN interfaces in the selected context.
To apply a policy to a specific VLAN, see the “Configuring Traffic Policies” section on page 12-1.
Note You cannot modify an existing policy. Instead, delete the existing global policy, and then create
a new one.
Assumption
A Layer 3/Layer 4 or Management policy map has been configured for this virtual context. For more
information, see the “Configuring Virtual Context Policy Maps” section on page 12-34.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Config > Virtual Contexts > context > System > Global Policies.
The Global Policies table appears.
Step 2 Click Add to add a new global policy.
The Global Policies configuration screen appears.
Note You cannot modify an existing policy. Instead, delete the existing global policy, and then create
a new one.
Step 3 In the Policy Maps field, choose the policy map that you want to apply to all VLANs in this context.
Click the Add button to create or edit the policy map.
Step 4 In the Direction field, verify that the policy is being applied to incoming communications.
Step 5 Do one of the following:
• Click Deploy Now to deploy this configuration on the ACE appliance.
