The Actions tab allows you to view and change the actions associated with a
rule. A rule has two main parts: Traffic Description and Actions. Traffic
Description identifies the type of traffic to which the rule pertains. Actions
specify whether the traffic will be assigned class of service, access control
(VLAN membership), or both. Any additions or changes you make to this tab must
be enforced in order to take effect.
If you modify an enabled rule's actions, Policy Manager checks for
conflicts with other rules in the services and roles with which the newly
modified rule is associated. See Conflict Checking for
more information.
To display the Actions tab, select a rule in the left panel's Services
tab, and select the Action tab in the right panel.

Class of Service
Use this area to select a class of service to associate with the rule. 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 classification rule action. See
Getting Started with Class of Service and
How
to Create a Class of Service for more
information.
To choose a class of
service for the rule, select the CoS checkbox. This opens the Classes of Service
Selection View, where you can choose a
class of service or create a new one. If you want to change an existing class of
service, click the CoS Select
button, select a class of service, and click OK.

choose, the Deny Traffic Select button is available. This opens the
Discard VLANs Selection View,
where you can choose a different default discard VLAN.
