b To select specific Device Groups to which this policy should apply, click the
Specified Device Groups button.

Groups list and click the right-arrow button. The device group will move to the
Included Device Groups list.
— To remove device groups from the policy scope, select the Device Group in the
Included Device Groups list and click the left-arrow button. The policy will

8 Click Next to go to the Policy Overlaps page, and specify the scoping for this policy.
The Policy Overlaps list displays a list of policies that overlap or conflict with the
new policy based on its definition so far. The Policy Overlaps list shows the
following information:
— Overlapping Policy—the name of the overlapping policy.
— Relative Precedence—the precedence of this policy relative to the new policy.
The relative precedence shows the order in which the policies, and the traffic to
which they apply, will be handled on the managed network devices on which the
policy is configured.
— Precedence Type—indicates whether the precedence is Explicit (specifically
defined by a user) or Implicit (its precedence is a function of the time at which
the policy was created). Precedence type and the rules that determine the
precedence between policies in discussed in the next section.
You cannot change the information shown on this page.
If you think the overlap may be the result of an incorrect policy specification, you
can use the Back button return to the appropriate page, and make the necessary
changes.
9 Click Next to go to the Precedence page and change the precedence of a policy, if
needed.
The precedence lists show how overlapping policies relate to your new policy.
— Higher Priority Policies are those which have higher priority (will take
precedence) over the new policy.
— Lower Priority Policies are those which have lower priority than the new policy
(the new policy takes precedence).
If you do not define precedence explicitly among policies, there is an implicit
ordering by which precedence is determined. This ordering is done based on two
factors:
