class

Use the class policy-map configuration command to define a traffic classification match criteria (through
the police, set, and trust policy-map class configuration commands) for the specified class-map name.
Use the no form of this command to delete an existing class map.
Syntax Description
class-map-name
Defaults No policy map class-maps are defined.
Command Modes Policy-map configuration
Command History Release
12.2(25)FX
Usage Guidelines
Before using the class command, you must use the policy-map global configuration command to
identify the policy map and to enter policy-map configuration mode. After specifying a policy map, you
can configure a policy for new classes or modify a policy for any existing classes in that policy map. You
attach the policy map to a port by using the service-policy interface configuration command.
After entering the class command, you enter policy-map class configuration mode, and these
configuration commands are available:
•
•
•
•
•
To return to policy-map configuration mode, use the exit command. To return to privileged EXEC mode,
use the end command.
The class command performs the same function as the class-map global configuration command. Use
the class command when a new classification, which is not shared with any other ports, is needed. Use
the class-map command when the map is shared among many ports.
