11.3 WAN Policy Structure

A WAN policy consists of three sections:
•
•
•

11.3.1 Declaration Section

The Declaration section of a policy contains definitions of local variables and variables coming in
through a client request. These definitions are used within the Selector and Provider sections. These
variables are stored along with system-defined variables.
Variable declarations are separated by a semicolon (;). Multiple declarations for the same type can
be combined in one line or wrapped to the next line; they are not line sensitive. A sample
Declaration section is shown below:
REQUIRED INT R1;
REQUIRED TIME R2;
REQUIRED BOOLEAN R3,R4;
REQUIRED NETADDRESS R5,R6;
OPTIONAL INT P1 := 10;
OPTIONAL BOOLEAN := FALSE;
LOCAL INT L1 :=10;
LOCAL INT L2;
LOCAL TIME L3;
LOCAL BOOLEAN L4 :=TRUE, L5 :=FALSE;
LOCAL NETADDRESS L6;
The required and optional declarations are specific to a particular traffic type. Policies that do not
contain the required variables will not run. The optional declarations must have a value to provide a
default if none is passed in. WAN Traffic Manager provides system symbols (predefined variables)
for use with all traffic types.
Each declaration consists of three parts:
• Scope
• Type
• List of names/optional value pairs

Allows all processes to start at any time, but WAN Traffic Manager must be consulted for each
*_OPEN call. It schedules the process to run four times a day at 1:00, 7:00, 13:00, and 19:00.
Allows all processes to start between 1:00 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. and run to completion without
further queries to WAN Traffic Manager. The processes run four times a day, every six hours.
The 1:00 process is handled by this policy; the other processes are handled by the Start Rest.
Procs, NA.
