From "Policy Settings" in the navigation menu, you can view and configure security policies for devices and the UnAuth Group.
You can also view and add actions from this menu.

About Security Policies

Each security policy consists of the following attributes.

Network
A tagged VLAN to which devices are assigned to.
If the registered device is connected to the AMF Member (Edge Node), TQ of the AMF Application Proxy, it is connected to the VLAN subnet configured in the network.
If the network is not registered on the device, it is connected to the VLAN configured on the edge node.
AMF Security mini achieved this VLAN assignment by instructing the switch to add VLAN tags with the specified VLAN ID when the switch forwards packets from the device out of their upstream port.

Note
If a device can access untagged VLAN, depending on the switch settings, the device may be able to connect to devices on the control plane.

Note
If the device with the MAC Address is connected to the TQ of the AMF Application Proxy, it depends on the TQ settings. Refer to Quick Tour's What is AMF Security mini > TQ's AMF Application Proxy/Behavior when using TQ dynamic VLAN.
Location
A physical location where a device can access the network.
If you specify a Location for the device, connection is possible only from the edge node registered in the location.
If you do not specify a Location, a device can access the network from any switches.
Schedule
A time period during a device can access the network (Start Date / Time, and End Date / Time).
If you specify a Schedule for a device, the device can access the network only when the schedule is effective. If you do not specify a schedule, a device can always access the network.

When a device has multiple security policies attached, a matching policy with the lowest priority value is used.

When a security policy has a specific schedule, AMF Security mini determines what action to take based on the date/time when a device gets connected.
This section describes an example in which the security policies shown in the following table:

Table 1: A security policy for a registered device
Priority	Schedule Start Date / Time	Schedule End Date / Time	Network
10	20XX-04-01 00:00:00	20XX-09-30 23:59:59	VLAN10
20	20XX-01-01 00:00:00	20XX-12-31 23:59:59	VLAN20

When a device gets connected to a network at "20XX-03-30 10:00:00", the device is assigned to the VLAN20 because it matches the security policy with the priority value of 20.
As the time goes on, the device is re-assigned to the VLAN10 at "20XX-04-01 00:00:00" because the time suddenly goes into the valid range of the security policy with the higher priority value of 10.

About the start date and time and end date and time of the schedule

The Start Date / Time and End Date / Time to be set are the date and time of the timezone currently set on the System Settings > Date / Time Settings page.
If the timezone is changed after registering the schedule, the Start Date / Time and End Date / Time of the schedule is changed according to the changed timezone.

As an example, if you register the schedule with the timezone set to "UTC" and then change the timezone to "Asia/Tokyo", the Start Date / Time of the schedule is "UTC + 9 hours".

Table 2: Set the following with the timezone set to "UTC"
Schedule Start Date / Time	Schedule End Date / Time
20XX-04-01 08:00:00	20XX-09-30 23:59:59

Table 3: Timezone changed from "UTC" to "Asia / Tokyo"
Schedule Start Date / Time	Schedule End Date / Time
20XX-04-01 17:00:00	20XX-10-01 08:59:59

Therefore, when performing operations related to schedule settings such as the following, make sure that the timezone used is set in advance.

Add / update schedule in "Policy Settings"
Export / Import Authentication Data on the System Settings > System Information page
Registration of Authentication Data by AMF Security mini linked application (API)

Note
The system settings exported on the System Settings > System Information page include timezone settings. Since the initial setting of the time zone of AMF Security mini is "UTC", import the backed up system settings and authentication data in the following order after initializing AMF Security mini or after a new installation. (1) Import "System Settings" (2) Restarting AMF Security mini instance (stop and start) (3) Import of "Authentication Data"
Refer to the AlliedWare Plus device manual for the setting method.

Add Network

This page lets you create a new network with its VLAN ID.
Networks are used for specifying which VLAN to put an allowed device in.
AMF Security mini achieves this by telling switches to add appropriate VLAN tags to the packet originating from the allowed devices.
