EXAMPLE
Consider the scenario where you throttle streaming traffic to 5% of your network and yet John is getting most of
that 5%. You could create a policy that throttles John's streaming to 2%. John's streaming policy needs to be ordered
higher in the policy tree than the general streaming policy or else his traffic will be handled by the general policy
and his traffic will never be evaluated against the policy that was created specifically for his traffic.
To reorder policies
For each policy that you would like moved, edit the ranking number to the order you would like, then select
Reorder
from the
Actions
menu on the right-hand-side. For example, if there are already policies with ranking order 10, 20, and
30, and you want to swap the order of the policies with ranking order 20 and 30, then either change the ranking order
of 30 to be between 10 and 20, say 15, or change the ranking order of 20 to be after 30, say 35. In either case, select
Reorder
from the
Actions
menu on the right-hand-side of the policy that changed its ranking number to submit this
change.
To reorder virtual circuits
For each virtual circuit that you would like moved, edit the virtual circuit by selecting
Edit
from the
Actions
menu on the
right-hand-side. Then modify the rank, which is the editable text field as part of the
Virtual Circuit Number
. For
example, if there are already virtual circuits with ranking order 10, 20, and 30, and you want to swap the order of the
virtual circuits with ranking order 20 and 30, then either change the ranking order of 30 to be between 10 and 20, say
15, or change the ranking order of 20 to be after 30, say 35. In either case, select
Reorder
from the
Actions
menu on the
right-hand-side of the virtual circuit that changed its ranking number to submit this change.
Re-using policies from the library
Policy definitions are created and saved to a policy library, which allows the same policy definition to be used in more
than one virtual circuit. This means that if you edit a policy in one virtual circuit, the definition is modified wherever it is
used. To modify a policy for a specific virtual circuit, you should clone the policy and then modify the details. Note that if a
policy is removed from a virtual circuit, it is not deleted from the policy library.
Creating a policy for use with any virtual circuit
Use the instructions that follow to create a policy for general use. Once created, it can be applied to any virtual circuit.
Before you begin
Some of the following steps require understanding that is not included in the instructions. You should consult the
following, where needed:
Configuring a policy to accelerate traffic
Configuring a policy to discard (block) traffic
Configuring a policy to redirect HTTP traffic to an HTTP Response webpage
Configuring a policy to redirect HTTP traffic to a URL
