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. This tab displays port information for all the rules that have been used for a selected role, service (manual or automated), device, device group, Policy VLAN Island, Network Resource Topology Island, or for all the devices in the current domain.

To access this tab:

select a role or service in the left-panel Roles/Services tab
select a device, device group, or the My Network or All Devices folder in the left-panel Network Elements tab
select a VLAN island in the left-panel of the Access Control Configuration window (available from the Policy Manager Edit menu)
select a topology island in the left panel of the Network Resource Configuration window (available from the Policy Manager Edit menu)

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).
