2.2 Configuring Traffic Policing Based on an Interface

After traffic policing based on an interface is configured, the S3700 policies the traffic on the

interface.

Before configuring traffic policing based on an interface, familiarize yourself with the applicable

environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This helps you

complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment

If the service traffic sent by users is not limited, a large amount of increasing burst service data

makes a network more congested. To make full use of network resources and provide better

services for more users, you must limit user service traffic. After interface-based traffic policing

is applied to the interface, the rate of all the user service traffic entering the interface is limited.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring a limit rate on the interface, complete the following tasks:

Data Preparation

To configure interface-based traffic policing, you need the following data.

No.

To limit the rate of traffic entering the S3700, configure traffic policing on the inbound interface.

Procedure

Step 1 Run:

NOTE

The S3700 does not support traffic shaping according to user-defined policy.

Setting physical parameters of interfaces

Setting link layer attributes of interfaces to ensure normal operation of these interfaces

Assigning IP addresses to the interfaces and configuring routing protocols to ensure that

routes are reachable
