AI-Assisted Policy Creation

AI-Assisted policy creation simplifies the process of setting up policies by allowing you to generate them through natural language prompts. Instead of manually configuring each setting, you can describe your requirements in plain text, and the system will automatically generate a policy based on your inputs.

AI-assistance is limited to policy creation only. Other Instant On configurations or any information beyond the scope of policy creation is not supported by the AI-assistance.

If a secure gateway is deployed at a site, policies can only be created using the AI assistant. The manual policy creation option is not available in this scenario. A site with a secured gateway supports the following categories of policies:

  • Site Policy—Allow or block port forwarding during specific times.
  • Client Policy—Control which destinations can be accessed by clients on the network.
  • Network Policy—There are three types of network policies:
    • Network Activation—Activate or deactivate the network during specific times.
    • Network Firewall—Allow or block incoming and outgoing traffic to protect against unauthorized access and threats.
    • Network Access—Control destinations that can be reached from the network.
  • Application Policy—Allow or block specific applications from being used on the network.

Limitation of AI-Assisted Policy Creation

  • Policies cannot be edited using the AI-assistance. To edit an existing policy, hover the cursor to the end of the row, click the button, and select View Details from the drop-down list.
  • Creation of new schedule is not supported, only exciting schedules can be applied during new policy creation.
  • To ensure that domain policy rules are correctly implemented for site clients within an HPE Networking Instant On environment, the clients must use the Secure Gateway as their DNS server.

Creating a Policy Using AI-Assistance

The following procedure describes how to create an AI-assisted policy:

  1. Navigate to Policies > Overview.
  2. Click the Create as Conversation button.

    The Create Policies page is displayed.

    You can also select from predefined suggestions displayed above the State a Policy by Intention text box.

  4. Click Submit.

    The AI assistant analyzes the input and initiates a conversation to gather all necessary details.

  5. Interact with the AI-assistant to refine and complete the policy details.
  6. The AI assistant generates the policy based on the interaction.
  7. The optional settings available while creating AI-assisted policy are:
    • Click the Start Over icon to delete the current conversation and begin again.
    • Click the Delete icon to delete the proposed policy.
    • Click the Edit icon to manually edit to the suggested policy. After editing the policy, click Edit Policy to save the change and return to the Create Policy page.

    The newly created policy is added at the end of the policy table.
