The Precedence tab is for legacy devices only. It enables you to set the order in which priority-based rate limits will be written to devices that support them.
Policy Manager allows you to define as many rate limits as you wish; however, the number written to a device is restricted by the number of rate limits supported by the device. Rate limits will be written to a device in the order displayed on this tab, up until the maximum number of rate limits has been reached on each device. Rate limits are listed in the order of precedence under the rate limit folder in the left-panel tree.
| NOTE: | Although all rate limits have a precedence and show up in this list, only rate limits that include a priority-based configuration will actually be written to a device. |

To access this tab, open the Class of Service Configuration window (available from the Policy Manager Edit menu). Then, select the "Show all CoS Components in Tree (Advanced Mode)" option from the Domain Managed CoS Components menu to display the CoS tree in the left panel. Select the Rate Limits folder in the tree, and the Precedence tab will display in the right panel.
This tab also appears when you select the Precedence Edit button on the Rate Limit General tab.
The Precedence tab lists all the currently defined rate limits and their current precedence. To use the Precedence tab, select the rate limit you want to position, and use the Up or Down button to move it to the desired place in the list.
