The required and optional declarations are specific to a particular traffic type. Policies that do not
contain the required variables will not run. The optional declarations must have a value to provide a
default if none is passed in. WAN Traffic Manager provides system symbols (predefined variables)
for use with all traffic types.
Each declaration consists of three parts:
Š
Scope
Š
Type
Š
List of names/optional value pairs
Scope
Valid scopes are listed in the following table.
Type
Valid types are listed in the following table.
Scope Description
REQUIRED Variables defined as REQUIRED in scope can be used in multiple sections, but only
once within the Declaration section.
No values can be defined for a REQUIRED scope variable. Its value must come from
the GetWanPolicy request.
OPTIONAL Variables defined as OPTIONAL in scope can be used in multiple sections of a policy,
but only once within the Declaration section.
OPTIONAL scope variables are assigned to a default value. These values are not
initialized. They are set only if a value is not passed. If a WAN policy request does not
pass a new value to the parameter that matches in both name and type, the value
defined in the Declaration is used when processing the policy.
You must assign a value to variables defined as OPTIONAL in scope. Therefore,
because TIME and NETADDRESS types cannot be initialized in the Declaration
section, do not use an OPTIONAL scope with these variable types.
LOCAL Variables defined as LOCAL in scope can be used in multiple sections, but only once
within the Declaration section.
LOCAL scope variables exist only for a particular policy; that is, their values are not
returned to the calling client.
All parameter types can be defined. However, because TIME and NETADDRESS
types cannot be initialized in the Declaration section, do not assign values to these
types.
SYSTEM Variables defined as SYSTEM in scope can be used in multiple sections, but only
once within the Declaration section.
