Finally, click on the CoS Policy tab to attach policies to interfaces. In <Link>Figure 207 below, you can specify policies on the Node A and Node Z endpoints of a link. Note that only the CoS Policies that are applicable to the Node A router will be listed under the Node A Policy drop-down menu, and likewise for Node Z.
