Aggregate input/output QoS policy applies to all the port ingoing/outgoing traffic. Aggregate 
input/output QoS policy can coexist with per queue input/output QoS policies.
1. If only an aggregate input QoS policy exists, input traffic conditioning configurations 
(rate-police) apply. Any marking configurations in the aggregate input QoS policy are 
ignored.
2. If an aggregate input QoS policy and a per-class input QoS policy coexist, the aggregate 
input QoS policy preempts the per-class input QoS policy on input traffic conditioning 
(rate-police). In other words, if a rate police configuration exists in the aggregate QoS 
policy, the rate police configurations in the per-class QoS are ignored. Marking 
configurations in the per-class input QoS policy still apply to each queue.
3. If only an aggregate output QoS policy exists, egress traffic conditioning configurations 
(rate-limit and rate-shape) in the aggregate output QoS policy apply. Scheduling and 
queuing configurations in the aggregate output QoS policy (if existing) are ignored. Each 
queue uses default scheduling and queuing configuration (weighted random early 
detection [WRED] and Bandwidth).
4. If the aggregate output QoS policy and per-queue output QoS policy coexist, the 
aggregate output QoS policy preempts a per-queue output QoS policy on egress traffic 
conditioning (rate-limit). In other words, if a rate limit configuration exists in the 
aggregate output QoS policy, the rate limit configurations in per-queue output QoS 
policies are ignored. Scheduling and queuing configurations (WRED and Bandwidth) in 
the per-queue output QoS policy still apply to each queue.
