tree to the role that is being reported by the device. Enable the policy from the
Options menu.
For example, you can choose the Mark WWW Traffic Best Effort During

If the policy was correctly installed on the device, a list of traffic filters
generated by the policy appears in the Filter Set list. If any traffic matching
the filters has passed through the device, the number of affected packets
appears under the Packets column for each filter.
