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 36-8).
• Create a Class Map (page 36-5) 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.
