Configuring IP classifier elements

An IP classifier element is created to enable the switch to classify traffic. In
turn, IP classifier elements are then referenced by classifiers and classifier
blocks, which determine access to, and denial of, network services.

Creating an IP classifier element

To create an IP classifier element:

Step

Action

1

Open the IP Classifier Element screen by selecting Applications >
QoS > QoS Advanced > Rules > IP Classifier Element from the
menu. This screen is illustrated in

"IP Classifier Element screen"
