route applies or select User Defined to specify another DSCP code
point. The lower the number the higher the priority with the exception of
0 which is usually given only best-effort treatment.
any means all DSCP value or no DSCP marker.

Select Auto to have the NXC use the routing table to find a next-hop
and forward the matched packets automatically.
Select Gateway to route the matched packets to the next-hop router or
switch you specified in the Gateway field. You have to set up the next-
hop router or switch as a HOST address object first.
Select Interface to route the matched packets through the specified
outgoing interface to a gateway (which is connected to the interface).
This field displays when you select Gateway in the Type field. Select a
HOST address object. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
NXC that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must
be a router or switch on the same segment as your NXC's interface(s).
This field displays when you select Interface in the Type field. Select
an interface to have the NXC send traffic that matches the policy route
through the specified interface.
This field displays when you select Interface in the Type field. Select
this to have the NXC automatically disable this policy route when the
next-hop's connection is down.
