membership of devices. If you disable the rule, then the switch will not use this rule, but
the parameters you set up will be saved. The Admin Status for a Policy is different from

VLAN as it controls only to this
specific rule. You can enable or disable the rule at a later time using the modatvl
command.

addresses by a space. The range is specified using the last two bytes of the MAC address.

rule that you want to set up. Follow the directions in the appropriate section to configure
that rule.
If you enter N , you will receive a message, similar to the one below, indicating that the
