Policies

A policy represents common configuration settings for multiple Transfer CFTs. You can simultaneously deploy the same configuration changes to all Transfer CFTs assigned to a policy. For example, if multiple Transfer CFTs use parallel TCP (pTCP), you can create a policy with this configuration and deploy it to the Transfer CFTs.

Note

If you remove, disable, or modify certain Transfer CFT network protocols and protocol configurations when they are used in a flow, a warning message indicates when the modification has an impact on one or more flows. If you confirm the change, the affected flows are recalculated to reflect the new status. For details, see Configuration change management.

The Policy List page lets you add and manage the configuration policies defined in Central Governance. You can see the list of policies and the number of Transfer CFTs assigned to them. The page also reports the status of the policy, which indicates where the policy is in its lifecycle. In addition, you can add, deploy and remove policies.
