This Gauge32 records the policyLevel at which the governing policy behind the capability entry recording which physical ports on a piece of UCS gear are certified to accept passive optical/AOC cabling instead of copper twinax was resolved — essentially how many levels down UCS Manager's organizational hierarchy it had to walk to find the policy actually applied. An admin comparing two seemingly-identical entries of this type that behave differently can use policyLevel to see whether one inherited straight from the root org while the other picked up an override from a nested sub-org, which explains inconsistent behavior for a non-copper-passive-cabling port restriction across different orgs. A value of 0 means the policy came straight from the root org; a value like 2 would mean it was resolved from a sub-org two levels down, e.g. root/optics-org.
