Configuring 1-Rate and 2-Rate, 2-Color and 3-Color Policing

The type of policer created by the device is based on a combination of the police command arguments described
in the table below.
Note You must specify the identical value for pir and cir to configure 1-rate 3-color policing.

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, and the Gigabit
per second (gbps) rate is not supported for this
parameter.
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 to 80 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, and the Gigabit per
second (gbps) rate is not supported for this parameter.
You must specify a value for pir before
