Overhead Accounting and Hierarchical Policies
Overhead Accounting and Hierarchical Policies
In hierarchical policies, you can enable overhead accounting for shaping and bandwidth on top-level
parent policies, middle-level child policies, and bottom-level child policies. If you enable overhead
accounting on a:
• Parent class-default class, you are not required to enable accounting on a child traffic class that does
not contain the bandwidth or shape command.
• Child policy, then you must enable overhead accounting on the parent policy.
The parent and child classes must specify the same encapsulation type when enabling overhead
accounting and configuring an offset using the user-defined offset [atm] command option.
Table 10-2 summarizes the configuration requirements for overhead accounting. For example, if
overhead accounting is currently enabled for a parent policy, then accounting can be disabled or enabled
on a child policy.
