FIGURE 6-87 QoS Policy Rule Form
Note: In using this form, the user must be aware that it is a two-step process; the user first selects the flow and priority and clicks on
Add to add them as a Priority/Action pair. The user then chooses a traffic action and selects Add Rule to actually add the rule
to the policy form as a row.
6.11.8 Viewing Default Flows, Priorities, Actions, and Policies
When the AlliedView NMS is first installed there is a set of flows, priorities, actions, and policies (which are made up of a
combination of the these flows, priorities, and actions) that are already configured. These can be immediately used and
applied to the devices and ports (and included in profiles), or used as a starting point for creating new ones. (For example, an
existing flow can be brought up, and a new one can be created based on its attributes.)
TABLE 6-20 Options for the QoS Policy Rule Form
Option Purpose
Target
Device
Classes
The device classes that are included in this policy. This value is read-only.
Priority
Action Pairs
Two pull-downs that have the available Flow Descriptions and Priority Actions. Select one from
each to include in the rule.
Note that each flow name can only be used once in a policy. The combo-box values for Flow
Descriptor reflect this constraint.
Traffic Action One pull-down to select the Traffic Action associated with he Flow Description/Priority Action
pair.
Add Adds the selected Flow-Descriptor pair to the Pair Table.
Add Rule Add the rule to the Policy. The QOS Policy Maintenance form appears with the rule included.
Up, Down, Remove, would you want these since each rule should have one of each?
