A slope policy is associated by default with XMAs and MDAs and port access and network 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 default. A QoS policy cannot be deleted until it is removed from all of the places where it is applied.
