police
Use the police policy-map class configuration command to define a policer for classified traffic. A
policer defines a maximum permissible rate of transmission, a maximum burst size for transmissions,
and an action to take if either maximum is exceeded. Use the no form of this command to remove an
existing policer.
police rate-bps burst-byte [exceed-action {drop | policed-dscp-transmit}]
no police rate-bps burst-byte [exceed-action {drop | policed-dscp-transmit}]
Syntax Description
Defaults No policers are defined.
Command Modes Policy-map class configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines When configuring hierarchical policy maps, you can only use the police policy-map command in a
secondary interface-level policy map.
The port ASIC device, which controls more than one physical port, supports 512 policers (512
user-configurable policers plus 1 policer reserved for internal use). The maximum number of
user-configurable policers supported per port is 63. Policers are allocated on demand by the software and
are constrained by the hardware and ASIC boundaries. You cannot reserve policers per port. There is no
guarantee that a port will be assigned to any policer.
To return to policy-map configuration mode, use the exit command. To return to privileged EXEC mode,
use the end command.
rate-bps Specify the average traffic rate in bits per second (bps). The range is 1000000
to 1000000000.
burst-byte Specify the normal burst size in bytes. The range is 8000 to 1000000.
exceed-action drop (Optional) When the specified rate is exceeded, specify that the switch drop
the packet.
exceed-action
policed-dscp-transmit
(Optional) When the specified rate is exceeded, specify that the switch
changes the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) of the packet to that
specified in the policed-DSCP map and then sends the packet.
