How to Define Traffic Descriptions


Traffic Classification rules allow you to assign VLAN membership and/or class of service to network traffic based on the traffic's classification type. Traffic descriptions are the part of a rule that defines this classification type. For more information, see Traffic Classification Rules.

The Edit Rule window accessed via the Traffic Description section of the Rule window is used to define traffic descriptions for new rules.

Use the following steps to create a new rule:

  1. Open the Control tab.
  2. Select the Policy tab.
  3. In the Policy tab left panel, select the Roles/Services tab.
  4. Open the Service Repository tab and open either the Local or Global Services tab, depending on the location of the rule being edited.
  5. Open either the Service Groups or Services tab and select the service for which you want to create a rule.
  6. From the menu bar, select Tools > Create Classification Rule. You can also right-click the service and select the option from the menu.
    The Rule opens in the right panel.
  7. Select the Edit button in the Traffic Description area.
    The Edit Rule window opens.
  8. Enter the information for the Traffic Description rule. For additional information, see Edit Rule window.
  9. Enforce to write the new information to the devices.
