Introduction
This document provides a step−by−step guide on how to configure the Policy Import−Export (PIE) feature on
Cisco NAC Release 4.5. The purpose of this feature is to synchronize the device filters, traffic and
remediation rules, and port profiles between NAC Managers (Clean Access Managers). When this feature is
discussed, the NAC Manager where policies are defined is called the Master, which can push or synchronize
the policies of as many as ten NAC Managers (Clean Access Managers), called Receivers. Policies can be
synchronized automatically with a preset timer or through a manual sync.
