Let's discuss the problem in a new thread. Please reference the new conversation here: Unable to get Policy to work in EXOS 16.1

Hi Jarek,

In order to have Policy support, you need:

NetSight 6.2.0.221 or above
EXOS 16.1.1 or above
A supported Summit platform (as of 16.1: x450G2, x460G2, x670G2, x770)

Best Regards,
Stephane
