Chapter 6. Configuring Policies; Configuring Network Policies - Symbol WS5000 Series System Reference Manual

Configuring Policies
A network policy is a "packet filter." It prioritizes packets as they are sent across the wireless network, and
ultimately reject packets completely. Network policies define what packets should be filtered inbound (input)
and outbound (output) based on Input and Output Network Policies.
Network policies should be created to implement QoS and types of service (ToS) protocols. See Quality of
Service on page 1-9 for more details on QoS and types of service protocols supported by the WS5000 Series
wireless switch.
The data from Access Port directed towards MU is governed by outbound Policy Object and the data from an
MU directed to an Access Port is governed by inbound Policy Object.
