AutoTracker

 

policies

 

subdivide network traffic based on specific criteria. AutoTracker policies 

can be defined by port, 

MAC

 address, protocol, network address, user-defined, port binding, 

DHCP

 port, or 

DHCP

 

MAC

 address policy. You can define multiple policies—also referred to as 

“rules”—for a mobile Group or an AutoTracker 

VLAN

. A port or device is included in a mobile 

Group or AutoTracker 

VLAN

 if it matches any one AutoTracker rule. For example, you can 

define rules based on 

MAC

 address and rules based on protocol in the same mobile group or 

AutoTracker 

VLAN

.

This chapter provides an overview of AutoTracker Policies

 

as well as instructions for configur-

ing these policies. AutoTracker policies may be applied to mobile groups (including authenti-
cated groups) and to 

VLAN

s within standard groups. All policy types may be used with mobile 

groups and 

VLAN

s within standard Groups. However, only the Binding Rule may be used 

with authenticated groups.

♦ Note ♦

This chapter contains instructions for configuring 
AutoTracker policies for mobile groups or AutoTracker 

VLANs

. Instructions for configuring groups (mobile and 

non-mobile) can be found in Chapter 19. More detailed 
overview and instructions for AutoTracker 

VLANs

 

(created within non-mobile groups) can be found in 
Chapter 22.

AutoTracker policies enable you to control communications between end stations in your 
network. You define policies that determine membership in the mobile group or AutoTracker 

VLAN

 and AutoTracker automatically locates ports or devices that fit the policies and places 

them into the mobile group or AutoTracker 

VLAN

.

You can define physical policies or logical policies (or combinations thereof) to determine 
membership. Physical policies consist of port rules: you define the members as one or more 
specific ports and membership is limited to the ports defined and the 

MAC

 addresses of 

devices connected to those ports.

Logical 

VLAN

 policies can consist of 

MAC

 address rules, protocol rules, network address rules, 

user-defined, or port binding rules. Ports are assigned to mobile groups or AutoTracker 

VLANs

 

that have logical rules when the 

MPX

 module examines frames that originate from devices 

connected to the switch. If a frame is received that matches a logical rule, the source device’s 

MAC

 address and the port to which the source device is connected are both made members.

The members of a mobile group or AutoTracker 

VLAN

 thus consist of source devices originat-

ing frames that fit the AutoTracker policies and the ports to which those source devices are 
connected.
