DSCP Code Select a DSCP code point value of incoming packets to which this policy route applies or
select User Defined to specify another DSCP code point. The lower the number the higher the
priority with the exception of 0 which is usually given only best-effort treatment.
any means all DSCP value or no DSCP marker.
default means traffic with a DSCP value of 0. This is usually best effort traffic
The “af” choices stand for Assured Forwarding. The number following the “af” identifies one of
four classes and one of three drop preferences.
The “wmm” entries are for QoS. For more information on QoS and WMM categories, see WMM

User-Defined
DSCP Code
Use this field to specify a custom DSCP code point.
Schedule Select a schedule to control when the policy route is active. none means the route is active at
all times if enabled.
Service Select a service or service group to identify the type of traffic to which this policy route applies.
Source Port Select a service or service group to identify the source port of packets to which the policy
route applies.
Next-Hop
Type Select Auto to have the NXC use the routing table to find a next-hop and forward the
matched packets automatically.
Select Gateway to route the matched packets to the next-hop router or switch you specified
in the Gateway field. You have to set up the next-hop router or switch as a HOST address
object first.
Select Interface to route the matched packets through the specified outgoing interface to a
gateway (which is connected to the interface).
Gateway This field displays when you select Gateway in the Type field. Select a HOST address object. The
gateway is an immediate neighbor of your NXC that will forward the packet to the destination.
The gateway must be a router or switch on the same segment as your NXC's interface(s).
Interface This field displays when you select Interface in the Type field. Select an interface to have the
NXC send traffic that matches the policy route through the specified interface.
Auto-Disable This field displays when you select Interface in the Type field. Select this to have the NXC
automatically disable this policy route when the next-hop’s connection is down.
DSCP Marking
DSCP Marking Set how the NXC handles the DSCP value of the outgoing packets that match this route.
Select one of the pre-defined DSCP values to apply or select User Defined to specify another
DSCP value. The “af” choices stand for Assured Forwarding. The number following the “af”
identifies one of four classes and one of three drop preferences. Select preserve to have the
NXC keep the packets’ original DSCP value.
Select default to have the NXC set the DSCP value of the packets to 0.
The “wmm” entries are for QoS. For more information on QoS and WMM categories, see WMM
on page 185.
