HIERARCHICAL POLICY CONFIGURATION
In order to achieve Hierarchical classification and link sharing, user can configure 
the hierarchical policy.
Hierarchical policy is configured by attaching a policy map (child policy) on to a 
traffic class of the parent policy.
Note: We support four levels of hierarchy of the policy.
You cannot add a service policy to the traffic classes whose parent policy has Fair 
Queue enabled ‘Class Default’ class. To add service policy to the traffic class, disable 
fair queue on the Default Class.

XAMPLE 1
Create policies p1 and p2 and configure traffic class c1 and c2 in each of the 
policy.
ALU(config)# policy-map p1
ALU(config-qos-p1)# class c1
ALU(config-qos-p1-c1)#
ALU(config)# policy-map p2
ALU(config-qos-p1)# class c2
ALU(config-qos-p1-c2)#
Now, policy p2 can be included in the policy p1 using the ‘service-policy 
command.
ALU(config)# policy-map p1
ALU(config-qos-p1)# class c1
ALU(config-qos-p1-c1)# service-policy p2
