    type: str

staged_policy:
    description:
    - Specifies a staged firewall policy.
    - C(staged_policy) rules are not enforced while all the visibility aspects (statistics,

    description:
    - Specifies a service policy that would apply to traffic globally.

      For example, when a service policy is configured both at a global level and on a
      firewall rule, and a flow matches the rule, the more specific service policy configuration
      in the rule will override the service policy setting at the global level.
    - The service policy associated here can be created using the C(bigip_service_policy)
      module.
