Port Properties Rule Usage Tab


When rule accounting is enabled on a device, each rule keeps a list of the ports on which it has been used. The Port Properties Rule Usage tab displays all the rules that have been used on the selected port, and the role they are associated with.

There are two ways to access the Rule Usage tab:

  • Select a device in the left-panel Network Elements tab. In the right-panel Ports tab, select a port and click the Port Properties button. In the Port Properties window, select the Rule Usage tab (in the top row of tabs).
  • Select a port in the left-panel Port Groups tab, then select the Rule Usage tab in the right panel.

Click the Retrieve button to display the rule usage information. Rule accounting must be enabled on the device; see the device Role/Rule tab for information.

  TIP: You can see rule accounting information for an individual rule using the Rule Usage Tab (Rule).

Click the graphic for more information.
