To create a policing rule for ACL, use the set qos policer command.
set qos policer {microflow microflow_name} {rate rate} {burst burst} {drop | policed-dscp}
set qos policer {aggregate aggregate_name} {rate rate} {burst burst} {drop | policed-dscp}
set qos policer {aggregate aggregate_name} {rate rate} policed-dscp {erate erate} {drop |

Syntax Description
Defaults The default is no policing rules or aggregates are configured.
Command Types Switch command.
Command Modes Privileged.
Usage Guidelines Before microflow policing can occur, you must define a microflow policing rule. Policing allows the
switch to limit the bandwidth consumed by a flow of traffic.
The Catalyst 6500 series switch supports up to 63 microflow policing rules. When a microflow policer
is used in any ACL that is attached to any port or VLAN, the NetFlo w flow mask is increased to f ull flow.
Before aggregate policing can occur, yo u must create an aggr ega te and a polici ng rule f or tha t aggr ega te.
The Catalyst 6500 series switch supports up to 1023 aggregates and 1023 policing rules.
