Add a Matching Rule

Note: To perform this task from PolicyCenter, you must first select a configuration from the Editing Configuration drop-down list at the top of the page.

To add a matching rule to an existing class:

1. Click the manage tab.

2. In the left window pane, select the class for which you want to add a rule.

3. Click class and select add matching rule.

4. Complete the entries in the New Matching Rule window to define the matching rule for the class. For descriptions of these fields, see Matching Rules.

5. Click add rule.

If the info page has flagged one or more of your classes with the configuration error message attrib iqosMatchingRule = “???”, Failed to add matching rule to traffic class, you have exceeded the maximum number of matching rules available on your Packeteer model. (In the CLI, you can display configuration error messages with the class show <tclass> command.) To free up resources, you need to remove one or more classes or matching rules. Configuration errors will disappear once the total number of matching rules is less than the unit’s limit. If you find that you are consistently exceeding your unit’s maximum configuration limits, you should consider upgrading your PacketShaper.
