User Guide: AMF Security Controller version 1.8.0

Policy Settings



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.

Each security policy consists of the following attributes.


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, AT-SESC determines what action to take based on the date and 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.

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.
AT-SESC achieves this by telling switches to add appropriate VLAN tags to the packet originating from the allowed devices.
