Creating OS Policy Service

You can control how devices installed with certain OS configurations can be connected to the network, and also control what they can be allowed to do within the network. Using the OS policy service, the system can identify the type of client attempting to connect, and perform control actions such as allow/block, rate limiting, and VLAN tagging based on the OS rule.

1. Go to Services & Profiles > Access Control.
2. Select the OS Policy tab, and then select the zone for which you want to create the policy.
3. Click Create.
   The Create OS Policy Service page appears.
