Command Usage
◆ Use the policy-map command to specify the name of the policy map, and then
use the class command to configure policies for traffic that matches the criteria
defined in a class map.
◆ A policy map can contain multiple class statements that can be applied to the
same interface with the service-policy command.
◆ Create a Class Map (page 650) before assigning it to a Policy Map.
Example
This example creates a policy called “rd-policy,” uses the class command to specify
the previously defined “rd-class,” uses the set command to classify the service that
incoming packets will receive, and then uses the police flow command to limit the
average bandwidth to 100,000 Kbps, the burst rate to 4000 bytes, and configure the
response to drop any violating packets.
