Usage Guidelines

If a new policy rule is similar to an existing policy rule, you can run the rule copy command to clone the existing policy rule as a new rule.

A rule name contains a maximum of 32 characters. If a new rule has a name that contains more than 32 characters, the system saves only the first 32 characters.

Example

# Clone a NAT policy rule named abc and save it as efg.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] nat-policy
[sysname-policy-nat] rule copy abc efg
