Avaya Policy Manager

Avaya Policy Manager is a software tool for managing policies on Avaya P550, P880, and P330 devices, as well as Cisco 2500 and 7500 systems. Avaya Policy Manager allows network policy management based on these features:

• Quality of Service (QoS) policies prioritize traffic and/or control delay or loss based on application or user identity.
• Access Control policies permits or denies visibility and connectivity to network resources through host application or user identity. They also provides security via permit/deny rules.
• Scheduling policies take effect at defined times and for specific domains.

Avaya Policy Manager policies can be either abstract or specific. Abstract policies concerning traffic flow and service apply across a network domain. Custom policies for traffic and service apply to a specific device, device interface, group of devices, or group of interfaces.

Avaya Policy Manager consists of a Policy Engine (server) and a Console user interface application (client). The Console application is a graphical user interface (client) that can reside on the same system as the Avaya Policy Manager server and/or on a remote server.
