Policy Manager Command Reference

Table A-1: Policy Manager Command Reference

Menu Command Toolbar Button Description

File

New>Policy

Creates a new policy for the selected interface or device group.

File

New>Database

Creates a new QoS database.

File

Open

Opens a QoS database.

File

Save

Saves the currently open database without changing its file name.

File

Save As

None

Saves the currently open database using a different file name.

File

Close

None

Closes Policy Manager without closing Distribution Manager.

File

Exit

None

Closes Policy Manager and Distribution Manager.

Edit

Cut

None

Cuts the text selected in the policy editor pane. The cut text is not available for pasting to another location.

Edit

Copy

None

Cuts the text selected in the policy editor pane to the clipboard.

Edit

Paste

None

Pastes the text in the clipboard to the cursor position in the policy editor pane.

Edit

Delete

None

Deletes the text selected in the policy editor pane.

View

Toolbar

None

Displays (when checked) or hides the toolbar, which contains shortcut buttons for the menu commands.

View

Policy Editor

None

Displays (when checked) or hides the policy editor pane, which is the lower half of the main Policy Manager window.

View

Policy Expression

None

Displays (when checked) or hides the policy expression display at the bottom of the main Policy Manager window. The summary expression is a natural language translation of your settings for the displayed policy statement. You must also display the policy editor in order to display the policy expression.

Devices

Device>New

None

Adds a device to the QoS database, so that you can manage policies on that device through Policy Manager.

Devices

Device>View Configuration

None

Displays the selected device's settings, including SNMP communities and Cisco IOS software version numbers.

Devices

Device>Delete

None

Removes the selected device from the QoS database.

Devices

Device>Properties

None

Displays the selected device's properties as defined in the QoS database.

Devices

Interface>New

None

Adds an interface for the selected device to the QoS database. It is easier to have QoS Policy Manager detect the device's interfaces by clicking Detect Interfaces when viewing the device's properties for previously-defined devices (Devices>Device>Properties), or when adding a new device.

Devices

Interface>Delete

None

Removes the selected interface from the QoS database.

Devices

Interface>Properties

None

Displays the interface settings for the selected interface.

Devices

Device Group>New

None

Creates a device group, which is a grouping of interfaces to which you want to apply the same policies.

Devices

Device Group>Add/Remove Members

None

Adds interfaces to the selected device group, or removes them from the selected device group.

Devices

Device Group>Delete

None

Deletes the selected device group from the QoS database.

Device

Device Group>Properties

None

Displays the device group properties for the selected device group.

Devices

Import

None

Imports devices from an inventory list exported from Cisco Resource Manager (CRM) or CiscoWorks2000 Resource Manager Essentials.

Tools

Distribution Manager

Starts the Distribution Manager application, which you use to distribute policies to network devices.

Tools

Reports>All Policies

None

Displays a report of all the policies defined in the open database.

Tools

Reports>Device Policies

None

Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected device.

Tools

Reports>Device Group Policies

None

Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected device group.

Tools

Reports>Interface Policies

None

Displays a report of the policies defined for the selected interface.

Tools

Application Services

Creates or edits application service aliases. Application services are a defined set of characteristics that identify the source of traffic, so that you can more easily write policies that target the defined traffic.

Tools

Host Groups

Creates or edits groups. Groups are collections of IP addresses that you can use when creating QoS statements, so that you do not have to retype long lists for multiple statements.

Tools

DNS Resolution>Resolve Unresolved Host Names

None

Resolves only those host names that have not previously been resolved. Does not check previously resolved host names to determine if the IP address is correct.

Tools

DNS Resolution>Resolve all Host Names

None

Resolves all host names, even those that have previously been resolved. This ensures that the QoS database contains all current IP addresses for the hosts on the network.

Tools

Telnet

Opens Telnet, so that you can access a network device such as a router.
