A slope policy is associated by default with access and access uplink egress pools. A default policy may be replaced with a non-default policy, but a policy cannot be entirely removed from the configuration. When a non-default policy is removed, the policy association reverts to the default slope policy policy-id. A QoS policy cannot be deleted until it is removed from all ports where it is applied or if the policies are using the slope policy.
