Aggregating Policiers

After a packet is classified, the policing process begins. A policier specifies the bandwidth limit for incoming traffic on the classified flow and actions are defined for packets that exceed the limits. These actions include forwarding packets, dropping packets, or remarking packets with a new DSCP value. The device supports per flow and aggregate policiers.

Aggregate policers enforce limits on a group of flows. An aggregate policer cannot be deleted if it is being used in a policy map. The Aggregated Policier Page contains information for defining the bandwidth limits and define actions to take on packets that do not meet the requirements. To configure Aggregated Policiers:

1.Click Advance Setup > Quality of Service > Policy Properties >Aggregated Policier. The Aggregated Policier Page opens:
