Configuring Policing
Note You must specify the identical value for pir and cir to configure 1-rate 3-color policing.
Note A 1-rate 2-color policer with the violate markdown action is not supported.
Note

Although all the arguments in the above Arguments to the police Command table are optional, you must
specify a value for cir. In this section, cir indicates its value but not necessarily the keyword itself. The
combination of these arguments and the resulting policer types and actions are shown in the following Policer
Types and Actions from Police Arguments Present table.
Description
Committed information rate, or desired bandwidth, specified as a bit rate or a percentage
of the link rate. Although a value for cir is required, the argument itself is optional. The
range of values is from 1 to 80000000000. The range of policing values is from 8000
to 80 Gbps.
Rate as a percentage of the interface rate. The range of values is from 1 to 100 percent.
Indication of how much the cir can be exceeded, either as a bit rate or an amount of
time at cir. The default is 200 milliseconds of traffic at the configured rate. The default
data rate units are bytes.
Peak information rate, specified as a PIR bit rate or a percentage of the link rate. There
is no default. The range of values is from 1 to 80000000000; the range of policing
values is from 8000 bps to 480 Gbps. The range of percentage values is from 1 to 100
percent.
Indication of how much the pir can be exceeded, either as a bit rate or an amount of
time at pir. When the bc value is not specified, the default is 200 milliseconds of traffic
at the configured rate. The default data rate units are bytes.
Note You must specify a value for pir before the device displays this argument.
Single action to take if the traffic data rate is within bounds. The basic actions are
transmit or one of the set commands listed in the following Policer Actions for Conform
table. The default is transmit.
Single action to take if the traffic data rate is exceeded. The basic actions are drop or
markdown. The default is drop.
Single action to take if the traffic data rate violates the configured rate values. The basic
actions are drop or markdown. The default is drop.
