Command History

Usage Guidelines The switch supports a maximum of 256 unique policy maps.

Before configuring policies for classes whose match criteria are defined in a class map, use the

policy-map command to specify the name of the policy map to be created or modified. Entering the

policy-map command also enables the policy-map configuration mode, in which you can configure or

modify the class policies for that policy map.

After entering the policy-map command, you enter policy-map configuration mode, and these

configuration commands are available:

• class: the specified traffic classification for which the policy actions are applied. The classification

is defined in the class-map global configuration command. For more information, see the class-map

command.

• description: describes the policy map (up to 200 characters).

• exit: exits policy-map configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

• no: removes a previously defined policy map.

You can configure class policies in a policy map only if the classes have match criteria defined for them.

To configure the match criteria for a class, use the class-map global configuration and match class-map

configuration commands. You define packet classification on a physical-port basis.

You can create input policy maps and output policy maps, and you can assign one input policy map and

one output policy map to a port. The input policy map acts on incoming traffic on the port; the output

policy map acts on outgoing traffic.

You can apply the same policy map to multiple physical ports.

policy-map-name Name of the policy map.
