of traffic.
2. Edit the rules for each class to specify a type of traffic based on an
access list, a DSCP or IP Precedence value, or a VLAN.
3. Use the "Policy Map" to designate a policy name for a specific manner
in which ingress traffic will be handled.
4. Add one or more classes to the Policy Map. Assign policy rules to each
class by "setting" the QoS value to be assigned to the matching traffic
class. The policy rule can also be configured to monitor the average
flow and burst rate, and drop any traffic that exceeds the specified rate,
or just reduce the DSCP service level for traffic exceeding the specified
rate.
