To view local policy contents

Purpose

Use this procedure to view various contents of an existing local policy definition and any modifications you make to it before deploying the changes.

Use this procedure to view various contents of an existing local policy definition and any modifications you make to it before deploying the changes.

  • QoS SAP ingress and QoS SAP egress polices

  • ACL IP/IPv6 filters and ACL MAC filter policies

  • Port list and Prefix lists

  • All routing policies

    Note:

    Current and modified contents to VPLS (see To view VPLS contents ), VLL (see To view VLL service contents ), and VPRN services (see To view VPRN service contents ) may also be viewed in a similar manner as described in this procedure for policies.

Two information views are available. The Committed info view displays the current contents of a policy, and the Committed menu item is always enabled. The Modified info view allows you to review any changes you make to a policy before committing them. Modified, created, and deleted attributes and objects are displayed.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Policies→Policy Type from the NFM-P main menu, where Policy Type is the type of policy that you want to edit. The Policy Type manager form opens.

2 

Choose Local from the Policy scope drop-down menu.

3 

Click Search and select the policy that you want to view or modify.

4 

Click Properties and perform one of the following:

  1. To view the currently committed policy contents, go to Step 5 .

  2. To view modified policy contents before committing any changes, go to Step 6 .

5 

Click on the Action button and choose Show Info→Committed. A Committed Values form is displayed and shows various policy attributes that have been previously configured and saved in the local policy. The information displayed in the form is similar to the information retrieved by running the “configure>Policy Type #”, where Policy Type # is the type of policy (followed by its Service ID) that you want to query on an NE.

6 

Modify any policy parameters or objects, as required. Otherwise go to Step 9 .

7 

Click on the Action button and choose Show Info→Modified. A Modified Values form is displayed. The table lists modified, created, and deleted actions, as well as specific attributes and objects, along with their old value, new value, and tab location. The Attribute Title corresponds to the attribute or object name acted upon by your current modifications. For created objects, the values of mandatory attributes are shown in comma-separated format.

8 

Select an item in the Modified Values form and then click Show on Form. The policy form tab containing the changed item is displayed and the modified attribute is highlighted in blue.

9 

Save your changes if required, and close the form.
