Configuring Policies
This chapter describes policy configuration, including:
Policy Overview
Policy configuration defines the binding of a topology (VLAN), ingress and egress rate profiles
applied to the traffic of a station, and filter rules.
Policies don't need to be fully specified; Unspecified attributes are retained by the user or
inherited from Global Policy definitions (see “Configuring the Global Default Policy” on page 7-16
for more information).
Default Global Policy definitions provide a placeholder for completion of incomplete policies for
initial default assignment. If a policy is defined as Default for a particular VNS, the policy inherits
incomplete attributes from Default Global Policy definitions
Configuring VLAN and Class of Service for a Policy
From the VLAN & Class of Service tab you can assign a previously configured topology to a
policy. You can also launch the Topology Configuration page to edit an existing topology or create
a new one. For information about how to configure a topology, refer to Chapter 4, Configuring
Topologies.
In general, Class of Service (CoS) refers to a set of attributes that define the importance of a frame
while it is forwarded through the network relative to other packets, and to the maximum
throughput per time unit that a station or port assigned to the policy is permitted. The CoS defines
actions to be taken when rate limits are exceeded.
To configure VLAN and Class of Service for a policy:
1. From the top menu, click VNS Configuration.
The Virtual Network Configuration screen displays.
2. In the left pane expand the Policies pane and click the policy you want to edit, or click the
New button to create a new policy.
The Policy configuration page displays. By default, the VLAN & Class of Service tab displays
(Figure 5-1). Table 5-1 describes the fields and buttons on the VLAN & Class of Service tab.
