Defining Aggregate Policer

After a packet is classified, the policing process begins. A policer 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.
Aggregate policers enforce limits on a group of flows. An aggregate policer cannot be deleted if
it is being used in a policy map. First delete the aggregate policer from all policy maps by using
the no police aggregate command before using the no qos aggregate-policer command.
The Aggregate Policer page allows network managers to specify the bandwidth limits and define
actions to take on packets that do not meet the requirements.
To aggregate policies:
1. Click QoS > Advanced Mode > Aggregate Policer. The Aggregate Policer page opens:
