it is unavailable for use by the service with which it is associated, but
can still be copied to other services and enabled. Disabling a rule is an
alternative to deleting and recreating it. The rule icon in the left
panel displays a red X
if the rule is disabled. For more information, see
Disabling/Enabling a Rule.

the type of device to which the rule is applied when enforced, or all
devices. If the rule is device-specific, the rule icon displays a small
switch
. See
Rule Type for more information.

- The access control (VLAN assignment) defined for the rule. The rule's
access control specifies whether to:
- Permit Traffic - traffic will be forwarded with the port's assigned VID
- Deny Traffic - traffic will be denied altogether

- CoS
- The class of service associated with the rule. A class of service includes an 802.1p priority, and optionally an IP type of service (ToS/DSCP) value, drop precedence, rate limits, and transmit queue configuration.
