Chapter 2 Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and ROM Monitor Commands
set qos policer
set qos policer
To create a policing rule for ACL, use the set qos policer command.
set qos policer {microflow microflow_name} {rate rate} {burst burst} {drop | policed-dscp}
set qos policer {aggregate aggregate_name} {rate rate} {burst burst} {drop | policed-dscp}
set qos policer {aggregate aggregate_name} {rate rate} policed-dscp {erate erate} {drop |
policed-dscp} burst burst [eburst eburst]
Syntax Description
Defaults The default is no policing rules or aggregates are configured.
Command Types Switch command.
Command Modes Privileged.
Usage Guidelines Before microflow policing can occur, you must define a microflow policing rule. Policing allows the
switch to limit the bandwidth consumed by a flow of traffic.
The Catalyst 6500 series switch supports up to 63 microflow policing rules. When a microflow policer
is used in any ACL that is attached to any port or VLAN, the NetFlow flow mask is increased to full flow.
Before aggregate policing can occur, you must create an aggregate and a policing rule for that aggregate.
The Catalyst 6500 series switch supports up to 1023 aggregates and 1023 policing rules.
When both normal and excess rates are zero, you can specify any burst size. If the normal rates and
excess rates are zero, the value is ignored and set internally by hardware.

gigabits per second.
burst burst Specifies the burst size; valid values are 1 to 256000 kilobits.
drop Specifies drop traffic.
policed-dscp Specifies policed DSCP.
