Assigning policies to clients

There are two main rules for assigning policies to clients:

1.	Local (primary) clients can be assigned any local policy or any policy replicated from upper servers.

2.	Clients replicated from lower servers can be assigned any local policy with the Down replicable attribute or any policy replicated from upper servers. They cannot be forced to adopt policies from their own primary server (to do so, you must connect to that server with ERAC).

An important feature is that each client is assigned some policy (there is no such thing as clients with no policy). Also, you cannot take a policy away from a client. You can only replace it with another policy. If you do not want to apply a configuration from any policy to a client, create an empty policy.
