CoS value. Note that a class map can include match settings for both IP values 
and a VLAN.
3.
Use the policy-map command to designate a policy name for a specific manner 
in which ingress traffic will be handled, and enter the Policy Map configuration 
mode.
4.
Use the class command to identify the class map, and enter Policy Map Class 
configuration mode. A policy map can contain up to 16 class maps.
5.
Use the
 
set cos command to modify the per-hop behavior, the class of service 
value in the VLAN tag for the matching traffic class, and use one of the 
police 
commands
 
to monitor parameters such as the average flow and burst rate, and 
drop any traffic that exceeds the specified rate, or just reduce the DSCP service 
level for traffic exceeding the specified rate.
6.
Use the service-policy command to assign a policy map to a specific interface.
Note:
 Create a Class Map before creating a Policy Map.

Command Usage 
◆
First enter this command to designate a class map and enter the Class Map 
configuration mode. Then use match commands to specify the criteria for 
ingress traffic that will be classified under this class map. 
◆
One or more class maps can be assigned to a policy map (page 537). The policy 
map is then bound by a service policy to an interface (page 541). A service 
policy defines packet classification, service tagging, and bandwidth policing. 
Once a policy map has been bound to an interface, no additional class maps 
may be added to the policy map, nor any changes made to the assigned class 
maps with the match or 
set
 commands.
