> # Configuring Global Parameters (SRC CLI)

> If you change global variables for policies, the change takes effect the next time a service is activated; the change does not take effect for active service sessions.

> Use the following configuration statement to create a global parameter:

> `
> policies global-parameters name {
>   description description ;
>   default-value default-value ;
>   type type ;
> }
> `

> To create a global parameter:

> 1. From configuration mode, enter the global parameter configuration. For example, to create a parameter called bandwidth:
>    `
>    user@host# edit policies global-parameters bandwidth
>    `
> 2. (Optional) Enter a description for the parameter. You can provide extra information and examples of how the parameter is used.
>    `
>    [edit policies global-parameters bandwidth]
>    user@host# set description description
>    `
> 3. (Optional) Configure a default value that the policy engine uses if no other values are provided during the parameter value acquisition process.

>    See Parameter Types for valid values of each parameter type.

>    `
>    [edit policies global-parameters bandwidth]
>    user@host# set default-value default-value
>    `
> 4. (Optional) Type of attribute for which you can use the parameter.
>    `
>    [edit policies global-parameters bandwidth]
>    user@host# set type type
>    `
> 5. (Optional) Verify your configuration.

>        [edit policies global-parameters bandwidth]
>        user@host# show
>        default-value 5000000;
>        type rate;
