Configuring a Policy

The Policy Table Map page displays the list of advanced QoS polices defined in
the system. The page also allows you to create and delete polices. Only those
policies that are bound to an interface are active (see Policy Binding page).
Each policy consists of:
• One or more class maps of ACLs which define the traffic flows in the policy.
• One or more aggregates that applies the QoS to the traffic flows in the
policy.
After a policy has been added, class maps can be added by using the Policy Table
page.
