Name

Name of the role selected in the left panel.

CoS

Policy Manager lets you define classes of service that each include an 802.1p priority, and optionally an IP type of service (ToS/DSCP) value, rate limits, and transmit queue configuration. You can then assign a class of service as a default for a role. See Getting Started with Class of Service and How to Create a Class of Service for more information.

To choose a default class of service for the role, select the CoS checkbox. This opens the Classes of Service Selection View, where you can choose a default class of service for the role or create a new one. If you want to change an existing default class of service, click the CoS Select button, select a class of service, and click OK.

	NOTE:	If you select a CoS with a ToS/DSCP value, the ToS/DSCP value will be ignored, because ToS/DSCP rewrite works only for certain IP ToS classification rules, not as a role default.

Select Button (CoS)

Opens the Classes of Service Selection View, where you can choose a default Class of Service for the role.

Access Control

To enable default access control (a default VLAN), select this checkbox. You can permit traffic to be forwarded, deny traffic altogether, or contain traffic to a VLAN.

Permit (Use Existing Port VLAN)

This option allows traffic to be forwarded with the port's assigned VID.

Deny Traffic

If this option is selected, traffic will automatically be sent to a discard VLAN. If no discard VLANs exist, a blank Discard VLANs Selection View appears. There you can create and select a new discard VLAN to use. If there is more than one discard VLAN from which to choose, the Deny Traffic Select button is available. This opens the Discard VLANs Selection View, where you can choose a different default discard VLAN.

Contain To VLAN

This option contains traffic to a specific VLAN. It automatically opens the VLANs Selection View, where you can choose a contain VLAN. If a contain VLAN is already selected, you can select another one by clicking the Contain To VLAN Select button.

Select Button (Deny)

This button is available if you have selected Deny Traffic and there is more than one Discard VLAN from which to choose. It opens the Discard VLANs Selection View, where you can select a different Discard VLAN.

Select Button (Contain)

Lets you change the VLAN specified for the Contain to VLAN option. Opens the Contain VLANs Selection View, where you can choose a different VLAN.
