AP Policy Components

Policy components also use a nested object approach and are primarily used to organize rules for how the data traveling through the APs is treated. However, there are some hardware elements revolving around how beaconing, intrusion detection, and client access technologies that are set in policies as well.

Policy components begin with an AP policy that contains SSID Groups. SSID groups contains contain SSID policies, which in turn contain individual SSIDs. The SSID is where the broadcast SSID name and authentication type are set. The SSID may contain other objects or policies such a security policies, schedules, or address objects.

Policy components may be shared. A single AP policy may be attached to more than one zone.
