Chapter 12: Classifiers
224 Section II: Advanced Operations
Modifying a ClassifierIn order to modify a classifier, you need to know its ID number. If you are
unsure of the ID number of the classifier you want to modify, refer to
“Displaying Classifiers” on page 228.
You cannot modify a classifier if it belongs to an ACL or QoS policy that is
assigned to a port. You must first remove the port assignments from the
ACL or policy before you can modify the classifier.
To modify a classifier, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 7 to select Security and Services.
The Security and Services menu is shown in Figure 71 on page 220.
2. From the Security and Services menu, type 1 to select Classifier
Configuration.
The Classifier Configuration menu is shown in Figure 72 on page 221.
3. From the Classifier Configuration menu, type 2 to select Modify
Classifier.
The prompt similar to the following is displayed:
Available Classifier(s): 1-12
Enter Classifier ID : [1 to 9999] -> 1
4. Enter the ID number of the classifier you want to modify.
The Modify Classifier window is displayed. This window is identical to
the Create Classifier menus, shown in Figure 73 on page 221 and
Figure 74 on page 222.
5. Edit the variables as needed.
When modifying a classifier, note the following:
You cannot change a classifier’s ID number.
To delete a value from a variable so as to leave it blank, select the
criterion and then use the backspace key to delete its default
value.
6. Once you have adjusted the variables, type M to select Modify
Classifier.
A change to a classifier is immediately activated. If any of the settings
are incompatible, the system displays an error message.
