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 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 (page 34-10).
• You must create a Class Map (page34-6) 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 command to limit the average bandwidth to 100,000 Kbps, the
burst rate to 1522 bytes, and configure the response to drop any violati ng
packets.
