The CMP system includes features to simplify the management of multiple policies.
The order in which policies are evaluated is important. The CMP system lets you configure the evaluation order of policies. See Structure and Evaluation of Policy Rules.
The CMP system provides a policy template feature to simplify the creation of multiple policy rules that have similar conditions and actions. After you create a policy template, you can use it to create additional rules. See Creating a Policy Template.
The CMP system also provides a policy rule grouping feature. Policy rules can be organized into groups and the groups can be used to simplify the process of deploying policies to MPE devices. See Creating a Policy Group. Policy rule groups can be executed with a single action. See Structure and Evaluation of Policy Rules.
Policies with similar conditions or actions can be consolidated into tabular form. See Managing Policy Tables.
