Usage
Information
The dot1p-priority command changes the priority of incoming traffic on the interface. The system
places traffic marked with a priority in the correct queue and processes that traffic according to its
queue.
When you set the priority for a port channel, the physical interfaces assigned to the port channel
are configured with the same value. You cannot assign the dot1p-priority command to individual
interfaces in a port channel.
rate police
Police the incoming traffic rate on the selected interface.
Syntax
rate police [kbps] committed-rate [burst-KB] [peak [kbps] peak-rate [burst-
KB]] [vlan vlan-id]
Parameters
kbps Enter the keyword kbps to specify the rate limit in Kilobits per second (Kbps).
Make the following value a multiple of 64. The range is from 0 to 40000000. The
default granularity is Megabits per second (Mbps).
committed-rate Enter the bandwidth in Mbps. The range is from 0 to 10000.
burst-KB (OPTIONAL) Enter the burst size in KB. The range is from 16 to 200000. The
default is 50.
peak peak-rate (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword peak then a number to specify the peak rate in
Mbps. The range is from 0 to 10000.
vlan vlan-id (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword vlan then a VLAN ID to police traffic to those

Usage
Information
NOTE: Per port rate police is supported for Layer 2 tagged and untagged switched traffic and for
Layer 3 traffic. Per VLAN rate police is supported on only tagged ports with Layer 2 switched traffic.
On one interface, you can configure the rate police command for a VLAN or you can configure the
rate police command for an interface. For each physical interface, you can configure three rate
police commands specifying different VLANS.
For each physical interface, you can configure three rate police commands specifying different
VLANs.
