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 dot1p-priority command to individual interfaces in
a Port Channel.

z
Police the incoming traffic rate on the selected interface.

rate police [kbps] committed-rate [burst-KB] [peak [kbps] peak-rate [burst-KB]] [vlan vlan-id]
