does not make a selection (i.e, leaves it as None), then the native priority of the

 

 

service will be applied to the policy. +5 is the highest priority. See “Quality of Service

 

 

(QoS) Priorities” on page 6-18.

• Always - always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. This is

 

 

useful when debugging your rules.

 

 

• Never - never log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not.
