Device Response to Invalid Policy

The action that the device should take when asked to apply an invalid or unknown policy can be specified. The available actions are:

• Ignore the result and search for the next policy assignment rule. If all rules are missed, the default policy is applied.
• Block traffic
• Forward traffic as if no policy has been assigned using 802.1D/Q rules

Use the set policy invalid action command to specify a default action to take when asked to apply an invalid or unknown policy.

The following example specifies that an attempt to apply an invalid or unknown policy should be ignored:

System(rw)->set policy invalid action default-policy
