police
police
To define a policer for classified traffic and to enter policy-map class police configuration mode, use the
police command in policy-map class configuration mode. A policer defines an average traffic rate, a
committed information rate (CIR), a peak information rate (PIR), and an action to take if a maximum is
exceeded. In policy-map class police configuration mode, you can specify multiple actions for a packet.
To remove a policer, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description rate-bps Specifies the average traffic rate in bits per second (b/s). The range is 64000
to 10000000000.
cir Committed information rate (CIR) used for policing traffic.
cir-bps CIR rate in b/s. The range is 64000 to 10000000000 b/s.
burst-bytes (Optional) Specifies the normal burst size in bytes. The range is from 8000
to 16000000.
bc burst- bytes (Optional) Conform burst. The number of acceptable burst bytes. The range
is 8000 to 1000000 bytes.
cir percent percent Specifies the CIR as a percentage of the bandwidth assigned to the class. The
range is from 1 to 100 percent.
