Modifying an active SLA profile is potentially service-affecting.

Ensure that you consider the implications of reconfiguring the SLA profile before you proceed.

Click Create→SLA Profile or choose an existing SLA Profile entry and click Properties. The SLA Profile (Create|Edit) form opens.


Configure the required parameters.

The Displayed Name parameter is configurable only during SLA profile creation.


Select a credit control policy to associate with the SLA profile.


Click on the QoS tab to associate ingress and egress QoS policies with the SLA profile.

  1. Select an access ingress policy to associate with the SLA profile.

  2. Configure the required ingress parameters.

  3. Select an access egress policy to associate with the SLA profile.

  4. Select a scheduler policy to associate with the SLA profile.

  5. Configure the required egress parameters.


Click on the ACL tab to associate ingress or egress IP filters with the SLA profile. Select any of the following filters:

  • ingress IP filter

  • egress IP filter

  • ingress IPv6 filter

  • egress IPv6 filter

  • one-time HTTP redirect filter


Click on the Supported Service Models tab to specify the intended service model(s) for the SLA profile.


Click on the Category Map tab.

  1. Select a category map to associate with the SLA profile.

    If you selected a credit control policy in Step 4, you will not be able to select a category map.

  2. Click Create or choose a category entry and click Properties. The Category (Create|Edit) form opens.

  3. Select a category name and configure the Idle Timeout parameter.

    Note:

    The session will be disconnected if the value of the Activity Threshold parameter is not met during the period specified by the Idle Timeout parameter. See To configure a category map policy for information about configuring the Activity Threshold parameter.

Click on the Bonding Selection tab to configure the SLA profile for use in a connection bonding configuration.

Configure the required selection bonding parameters.
