Creating a New Communication Control Policy

A new Communication Control policy can be created by cloning an existing policy, as described below. New policies are only needed if you are going to assign different policies to different Collector Groups.

Modifications made on one policy do not affect any other policies.

1. In the policy list, check the policy that you want to clone.
