# Adding Objects for Policy Servers to the Directory

To communicate with policy servers, the SAE creates and manages pseudointerfaces that it associates with a policy decision point object in the directory. Each policy server in the SRC network must appear in the directory as a policy decision point object.

Use the following configuration statements to specify the policy server as a policy decision point:

`

shared network policy-decision-point name {
  description description;
  pdp-address pdp-address;
  pdp-group pdp-group;
}

`

To add a policy server to the directory with the SRC CLI:

1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the policy decision point.
   `
   user@host# edit shared network policy-decision-point name
   `
2. (Optional) Specify information about the policy server.
   `
   [edit shared network policy-decision-point name]
   user@host# set description description
   `
3. (Optional) Specify the IP address of the policy server. The SAE uses this address to establish a COPS connection with the policy server.
   `
   [edit shared network policy-decision-point name]
   user@host# set pdp-address pdp-address
   `
4. (Optional) Specify the name of the policy server group.
   `
   [edit shared network policy-decision-point name]
   user@host# set pdp-group pdp-group
   `
5. Create an SAE community for the policy servers. See Specifying Application Managers for the Policy Server .
