Configures a policy with the specified name.
name: 32 alphanumeric characters
C13
Specifies which classifiers this policy applies to.
classifier-list: names of classifiers separated by
commas.
Specifies the parameters related to the actions:
egress-port: an outbound port number
priority: IEEE 802.1p priority field
bandwidth: bandwidth limit in Kbps, actions can be
assigned to packets which exceed the bandwidth limit (out-or-
profile).
out-of-profile-dscp: sets a DSCP number, if you want
to replace or remark the DSCP number for out-of-profile
traffic.
Specifies the actions for this policy:
• queue-action: tells the Switch to:
- set the IEEE 802.1p priority you specified in the
priority parameter (prio-set)
- sends the packet to priority queue (prio-queue)
- replace the IEEE 802.1p priority field with the tos
parameter value (prio-replace-tos).
• diffserv-action - chooses whether you want to set
the ToS field with the value you specified for the tos
parameter (diff-set-tos), replaces the IP ToS with
IEEE 802.1p priority value (diff-replace-priority)
or sets the DSCP field with the dscp parameter value
(diff-set-dscp)
• outgoing-mirror - sends the packet to the mirror port.
• outgoing-eport - sends the packet to the egress port.
• outgoing-non-unicast-eport - sends the
broadcast, dlf or multicast packets (marked for dropping
or to be sent to the CPU) to the egress port.
• metering - enables bandwidth limitations on the traffic
flows.
• out-of-profile-action - specifies the actions to
take for packets that exceed the bandwidth limitations:
- replaces the DSCP field with the value in the out-of-
profile-dscp parameter (change-dscp).
- discards the out of profile packets (drop).
- queues the packets that are marked for dropping
(forward).
- marks the out of profile traffic and drops it when network
is congested (set-drop-precedence).
inactive - disables the policy rule.
