9-18 CLI Commands: Differentiated Services
config diffserv policy expedite percent
This command identifies the maximum guaranteed amount of bandwidth to be reserved for the
specified class instance within the named policy using a relative rate notation. The <policyname>
and <classname> are the names of an existing DiffServ policy and class, respectively. The
committed information rate is specified as a percentage of total link capacity and is an integer from
1 to 100. The optional committed burst size is specified in kilobytes (KB) as an integer from 1 to
128, with a default of 4.
Note: The actual bandwidth allocation does not occur until the policy is attached to an interface in
a particular direction.
Note: The expedite kbps and percent commands are alternative ways to specify the same expedite
policy attribute.
Format config diffserv policy expedite percent <policyname>
<classname> <1-100> [1-128]
Restrictions The sum of the committed information rate values for all band-
width and expedite commands defined within a policy must not
exceed the available link bandwidth of the interface to which that
policy is assigned. Violation of this requirement shall prevent
successful attachment of a policy to the interface, or shall cause
this command to fail if the policy is already in service on one or
more interfaces.

DiffServ policy and class, respectively. The CoS value is an integer from 0 to 7.
