The system configuration tasks are a series of required steps necessary for setting up the Policy Management system. These tasks must be completed in the following order:
- Configure the topology, which defines the addresses and interconnections of Policy Management clusters in your network. These steps are described in Configuring the Policy Management Topology.
- Configure policy server profiles for MPE devices. This step is described in Managing Multimedia Policy Engine Devices.
- Configure protocol routing, which enables a Policy Management device to forward requests to other Policy Management devices for further processing. This step is described in Configuring Protocol Routing.
- Configuring advanced device settings, which include expert settings, service overrides, and load shedding options. This step is described in Configuring Advanced Device Settings.
