Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Specifies the direction for this entry on the interface. 'inbound' traffic is operated on during receipt, while 'outbound' traffic is operated on prior to transmission.

What is rlPolicyRulesInterfaceDirection?

This read-only object specifies whether this policy rule entry applies to inbound traffic (processed upon receipt), outbound traffic (processed prior to transmission), or neither, with availability of inbound/outbound options depending on whether the platform supports ingress/egress metering respectively. An admin uses this to understand exactly when in the packet's journey through the device this rule takes effect. For example, an admin building a rule meant to shape traffic before it leaves the switch would confirm this field is set to outbound rather than inbound.
