Table of the Device Classes, Targets, whether the parameters chosen are supported by the device
class, and a description of the device class.
Traffic Action
Name
A pull-down of all existing Traffic Actions. If selected, the parameters of the selected action appear
in the form.
Device Class A pull-down of the device classes that are included in this policy. This reflects the tic boxes chosen
in the Device Class table.
New Action Brings up the Select New Name window. The user can choose to copy the parameters from the
action currently displayed.
Copy Saves the parameters from the current Device Class target so they can be 'pasted' to another
target device class by the “translation” feature.
Paste Translates and applies the parameters that were “copied”. If there is no translation for a parameter
it will appear with square brackets around it, and be colored red. If there is similar parameter but
the value cannot be translated the value will be enclosed in square brackets and the entry will again
be colored red.

overwrite this value. For other parameters, such as BURSTSIZE, the value field is another pull-
down of the available values.

Note: If Action is used by a policy that is already deployed, the Deployment Record will be
marked out of sync. (Takes into account what device Classes actually changed)
Close Closes the form. If any changes have been made a Verify Close window asks to make these changes
permanent.
