The policy library
The policy library stores all policy definitions. The policies can be created and edited in the policy tree or in the policy
library. A single policy can be used by more than one virtual circuit. Not all policies in the policy library are necessarily
used within a virtual circuit.
NOTE
Any changes made to a policy definition will affect all other virtual circuits that use that policy.
The form at the top of the page allows you to create custom Policies. See
for more information regarding
creating and editing policies. In the list of policies, you can edit, clone, or delete policies. You can also use this delete
individual filter rules from within policies. Policies are part of the policy tree. To learn how circuits, virtual circuits, and
policies work together, see

To access this functionality, go to
Configuration > Traffic Policies > Optimizer > Policies

Adding a policy to the policy tree
Use the following instructions to add a policy to the policy tree that already exists in the policy library.
1.
Go to
Configuration > Traffic Policies > Optimizer > Optimizer > Policies
.
2.
Select the desired policy using the drop-down list at the bottom of a virtual circuit's policy list in the Optimizer.
3.
Specify the rank order number so that it will be inserted in the desired location in the policy tree.
4.
Press the
Add to 'name of virtual circuit
' button.
If you want to create a brand new policy
1.
Click on the Create New Policy link at the bottom of the desired virtual circuit's policy list and fill out the policy details.
2.
The system will insert the policy to the bottom of the policy list for the given virtual circuit. Reorder the policy if
needed.
For more information, refer to
Policy ordering matters
Given the top-down evaluation order, if you have multiple virtual circuits that could match the same traffic although one
is more specific than the other, the more specific virtual circuit needs to be ordered higher in the circuit's list of virtual
circuits as compared to the more general virtual circuit. Otherwise the traffic would be caught by the general virtual
circuit and would never reach the more specific virtual circuit. This is true for policies as well. That is, more specific policies
need to be ordered higher in the virtual circuit's set of policies as compared to more general virtual circuits.
