Configuring Policy Lists
When you add a policy list, you specify whether the policy list is for JUNOS routing platforms, JUNOSe routers, or a CMTS device (PCMM in Policy Editor). The type of policy list that you add controls the type of policy rules that you can add to the policy list.
- In the Policy Editor navigation pane, right-click a policy group, and select New > PolicyList. Then select JUNOS, JUNOSE, or PCMM. If you select JUNOSE, then select either IPv4 or IPv6.

Policy List Fields
In Policy Editor, you can modify the following fields in the PolicyList content pane.
Description
Caption
Keywords
- Series of words that Policy Editor uses as a filter for keyword searches.
- Value—Text
- Default—No value
Policy Roles
- Indicates whether the policy list is a JUNOS policy list, a JUNOSe policy list (for IPv4 or IPv6), or a PCMM policy list. You cannot change this value.
Applicability
- Indicates where the policy is applied on the router or, for PCMM policies, indicates whether the policy applies to the upstream or downstream channel. For JUNOS routing platforms, applicability determines the types of policy rules that you can create. For example, if you select both, you can create a JUNOS ASP or a JUNOS scheduler policy rule, but you cannot create a JUNOS filter.
- Value
- input—Policy is applied to the input (ingress) side of the router interface. For PCMM policies, indicates that the policy is provisioned on upstream service flows (from the cable modem to the CMTS device).
- output—Policy is applied to the output (egress) side of the router interface. For PCMM policies, indicates that the policy is provisioned on the downstream channel (from the CMTS device to the cable modem).
- both—Policy is applied to both the input (ingress) and output (egress) side of the interface, or it is attached implicitly to the interface without indicating direction. Both is not valid for PCMM policies.
In the case of JUNOS ASP policy rules, the policy is attached to both sides of the interface; for JUNOS scheduler policy rules, the policy is attached implicitly to the interface without indicating direction.
- JUNOS policy lists—Both
- JUNOSe IPv4 policy lists—Input
- JUNOSe IPv6 policy lists—Input
- PCMM policy lists—Input
Using the PolicyList Summary Table
The PolicyList pane contains a table that summarizes the policy rules that are within the policy list. It contains one row for each policy action that the policy list contains. The fields in the table vary depending on the type of policy rules that are contained in the policy list. You can modify policy rules from within the summary table, or you can modify them by selecting objects from the navigation pane. The fields in the summary table are explained in Table 25.
