Action Detail

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.

- Network
  A tagged VLAN to which devices are assigned to.
  A registered device is assigned to the VLAN subnet specified by a Network attribute of the matched security policy when the device gets connected to an OpenFlow Switch or an AMF Member (Edge Node).
  If the device's security policy does not specify a Network, it is assigned to the untagged VLAN (a subnet without VLAN) on the OpenFlow Switch or the VLAN configured on the Edge Node.
  AMF Security 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.

- Location
  A physical location where a device can access the network.
  If you specify a Location for a device, the device can access the network only from the OpenFlow Switches or Edge Nodes 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.
  A quarantined device may be able to communicate after the configured End Date / Time of a Schedule because a flow lifetime for the Quarantine VLAN precedes the Schedule End Date / Time. The value of "Flow Lifetime" on the System Settings > OpenFlow Settings page is used for this timeout.

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 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.
AMF Security achieves this by telling switches to add appropriate VLAN tags to the packet originating from the allowed devices.

Table 5: Sample Configuration Data
Item Name | Description
--- | ---
Network ID (Mandatory) | ID (Name) of the network. Network ID must be unique. Max 255 characters
VLAN ID (Mandatory) | A VLAN ID for the network. You cannot specify a VLAN ID which is already assigned to another network. If you specify VLAN ID 0, VLAN tag is not added for the network. This is the same as the network is not specified in a policy. VLAN ID must be in the range of 0 to 4094.
Note | Arbitrary string (comment) for the network. Max 255 characters.
