To delete a policy

Purpose

Each service SAP and network interface is associated, by default, with the appropriate ingress, egress, or network policy (ID 1). You can replace the default policy with a customer-configured policy, but you cannot entirely remove a QoS policy. When you remove a QoS policy from a SAP or IP interface, the policy association reverts to the default policy (ingress or egress policy ID 1). The default policy cannot be deleted.

A QoS, ACL, or an AA transit IP policy cannot be deleted until it is removed from the all SAPs or network ports where it is applied. When a policy is deleted, it is removed from the NFM-P, including the database and all devices.

Be aware when deleting a routing policy from an NE that is associated with one or more services. Multiple services on the NE may use the same policy.

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Choose Local or Global from the Policy scope drop-down menu.

3 

Click Search and choose the policy that you want to delete.

4 

Click Delete. A confirmation message appears.

If you are trying to delete a global routing policy, the message informs you that the policy may currently be used by services or routing protocols. Some routing policies, such AS Paths and routing statements, contain a Policy Usage tab in their properties form. That tab allows you to view the services and routing protocols that currently use the policy you are attempting to delete (see To view routing policy usage for more information). If you proceed to delete the global policy, then all such local definitions of the policy will also be deleted.

The confirmation message also contains a check box that allows you to exclude a global policy that is currently used by a service or routing protocol. Configure this as required.

5 

Click Yes or No to continue. The policy manager form reappears. If you chose to delete the policy, it is removed from the policy list.
