Viewing policies

Use this procedure to open the Policy tab.

CAUTIONCAUTION

When you define multiple meters that may match the same traffic, you must specify the in-profile and out-of-profile traffic as drop or pass to ensure that the traffic is processed at the prescribed rate. If you do not do this, each meter processes the traffic, and this interaction can cause traffic to be treated in unexpected ways.

Procedure steps

  1. From the navigation tree, double-click QoS.

  2. From the QoS tree, double-click QoS.

  3. Select the Policy tab.

Variable definitions

The following table outlines the parameters of the Policy tab.

Table 1. QoS Policy tab parameters
Variable Value
Id Specifies the number of the QoS policy.
Status Allows you to enable or disable the policy.
Name Displays the name for the policy.
ClassifierType Specifies whether a classifier or a classifier block identifies traffic.
ClassifierName Specifies the name of the classifier or classifier block associated with this policy.
InterfaceRoles Specifies the interfaces to which the policy applies.
NoteNote

You must configure the role combinations before you associate it with a policy.

InterfaceIndex Specifies the interface to which the policy is to be applied. A policy is associated with an interface explicitly using this attribute or implicitly using a role combination through the ntnQosPolicyInterfaceRole attribute. An interface must be identified by one and only one of these attributes. This attribute can identify an interface that does not currently exist in the system, as long as the specified interface index represents a potentially valid system interface.
NoteNote

The InterfaceRoles and InterfaceIndex fields are mutually exclusive. When the InterfaceIndex field is not zero, the InterfaceRoles must be empty (select none when insert the policy). When the InterfaceRoles specifies a valid role combination, the InterfaceIndex field must be 0.

Precedence Specifies the order in which multiple policies are associated with the same interface. Policies with greater precedence have higher numbers.
NoteNote

Policies with higher precedence values are applied before policies with lower precedence values.

Meter Specifies metering associated with this policy. Specifying a metering component causes any action criteria specified explicitly by the policy to be rejected as an error.
NoteNote

You must configure meters before you associate them with a policy.

InProfileAction Identifies the action to be applied to traffic with this policy. This will not be used when a meter is specified.
NoteNote

You must configure actions before you associate them with a policy.

NonMatchAction Identifies action taken for flows that do not match policy criteria.
StatsType Specifies statistics tracking:
  • none—No statistics tracked for this policy.

  • individual—Separate counters allocated, space permitting, for each classifier referenced by the policy.

  • aggregate—A single counter accumulates all the statistics for all the classifiers referenced by the policy.

SessionId Specifies the numerical identification for the current session.
Storage Specifies the type of storage:
  • volatile

  • nonVolatile

  • readOnly

Version Specifies the version.
