Command Usage
•Use the policy-map command to specify the name of the policy map, and
then use the class command to configure policies for traffic that matches
criteria defined in a class map.
• A policy map can contain multiple class statements that can be applied to the
same interface with the service-policy command (page 56-7).
• You must create a Class Map (page 56-4) before assigning it to a Policy Map.
Example
This example creates a policy called “rd_policy,” uses the class command to specify
the previously defined “rd_class,” uses the set command to classify the service that
incoming packets will receive, and then uses the police command to limit the
average bandwidth to 100,000 Kbps, the burst rate to 1522 bytes, and configure the
response to drop any violating packets.

Policy Map Class configuration mode. Use the no form to delete a class map and
return to Policy Map configuration mode.
