To renumber application filter entries

Purpose

The application filter entries in an AA group policy are applied to a traffic flow sequentially; the matching entry with the lowest ID value is applied first. Perform this procedure to assign new ID values to one or more application filter entries in an AA group policy.

Note: The NFM-P renumbers a filter entry ID only when the following are true.

Steps
 

Choose Policies→ISA Policies→Application Assurance from the NFM-P main menu. The Application Assurance Policies form opens.


Select an AA group policy and click Properties. The AA Group Policy (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Application Filters tab. The application filter entries are listed.


To renumber one filter entry:

  1. Select the entry and click Renumber ID. The Renumber Entry ID form opens.

  2. Configure the New Entry ID parameter.

  3. Save your changes and close the form. The NFM-P renumbers the entry.


To renumber multiple filter entries:

  1. Select the lowest-numbered entry that you want to renumber and click Renumber IDs. The Renumber Entry ID form opens.

  2. Configure the Start Entry ID and End Entry ID parameters.

    An End Entry ID value of 0 specifies that there is no ending entry ID; the range of entry IDs to renumber extends to the highest-numbered entry.

  3. Perform one of the following:
    • Select Add Factor to add an offset to each entry ID in the specified range.

    • Select Multiply Factor to multiply the ID of the selected entry and each higher-numbered entry in the specified range by an offset.

  4. Configure the Factor Value parameter by specifying the required addition or multiplication offset.

  5. Save your changes and close the form. The NFM-P renumbers the entries.


Close the open forms.
