Policy Binding

The Policy Binding page shows which policy profile is bound and to which port. A policy can be bound to an interface as an ingress (input) policy. When a policy profile is bound to a specific port, it’s active on that port. Only one policy profile can be configured per port and per direction. However, a single policy can be bound to more than one port.

When a policy is bound to a port, it filters and applies QoS to traffic that belongs to the flows defined in the policy.

To edit a policy, it must first be removed (unbound) from all those ports to which it’s bound.

Note

It’s possible to either bind a port to a policy or to an ACL but both can’t be bound.

To define policy binding, complete the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Click Quality of Service > QoS Advanced Mode > Policy Binding.

Step 2

Select an Interface Type if required.

Step 3

Step 4

Click Edit.

Step 5

Select the following for the input policy/interface:

  • Input Policy Binding—Select to bind the input policy to the interface.

  • Policy Name—Select the input policy being bound.

Step 6

Click Apply. The QoS policy binding is defined, and the Running Configuration file is updated.
