The CLI prevents you from configuring invalid action combinations that are never allowed; however, it
does allow you to create combinations that are supported in some scenarios. For example, an action
specifying maximum bandwidth can be combined with an action specifying priority.
Use the following "Policy Action Combinations Table" together with the
Table"
as a guide when creating policy actions.
