There are two ways to create a network policy:
• Using the Create Policy Wizard, which is invoked by clicking the Create Policy
button at the top of the Policy System page. The Create Policy Wizard guides you
step by step through the policy creation process. This is recommended if you are
new to using the Policy System.
• Selecting Policy from the New menu. This displays the Create Network QoS Policy
view for the type of policy you want to create. The Network QoS Policy View lets
you enter all the components of your chosen policy in a single form. This process is
discussed in the section "Creating a Policy from the New Menu" on page 8-20.

To create a QoS policy using the Create Policy Wizard, follow these steps:
1 Click the Create Policy button at the top of the Policy System page.
The first page (Name and Description) of the Create Policy Wizard appears.
Follow the instructions on each page of the wizard as described below.
You can use the Back button to back up to a previous page and change your entries.
You can go back to a previous page at any time until you click the Finish button,
which is not available until you reach the last page of the wizard.
2 On the first page, enter a name for the policy (required) and a description of the
policy (optional), then click Next to proceed to the next page.
3 On the Policy Type page, select the type of policy you want to create. The type of
policy you choose will determine the type of information you will need to provide.
The policy type acts as a sort of template, requiring definition only of the
components relevant to the particular policy type. You only need to define the
variable policy components; components that are predefined for the policy type are
included automatically. For example, for an Application Server policy, you only need
to define the endpoints for one side of the policy; the other side is always "ANY"
and the policy is always bi-directional.
— Application Server Policy lets you specify the components of a policy for traffic to
and from a particular application and server.
— Client/Server Policy lets you specify the components of a policy for traffic
between a server and specific clients.
