Classifying, Policing, and Marking Traffic on Physical Ports by Using Policy Maps

You can configure a policy map on a physical port that specifies which traffic class to act on. Actions
can include trusting the CoS, DSCP, or IP precedence values in the traffic class; setting a specific DSCP
or IP precedence value in the traffic class; and specifying the traffic bandwidth limitations for each
matched traffic class (policer) and the action to take when the traffic is out of profile (marking).
A policy map also has these characteristics:

Follow these guidelines when configuring policy maps on physical ports:

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create a policy map:

A policy map can contain multiple class statements, each with different match criteria and policers.
A separate policy-map class can exist for each type of traffic received through a port.
A policy-map trust state and a port trust state are mutually exclusive, and whichever is configured
last takes affect.
You can attach only one policy map per ingress port.
If you configure the IP-precedence-to-DSCP map by using the mls qos map ip-prec-dscp
dscp1...dscp8 global configuration command, the settings only affect packets on ingress interfaces
that are configured to trust the IP precedence value. In a policy map, if you set the packet IP
precedence value to a new value by using the set ip precedence new-precedence policy-map class
configuration command, the egress DSCP value is not affected by the IP-precedence-to-DSCP map.
If you want the egress DSCP value to be different than the ingress value, use the set dscp new-dscp
policy-map class configuration command.
If you enter or have used the set ip dscp command, the switch changes this command to set dscp in
its configuration.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SED or later, you can use the set ip precedence or the set precedence
policy-map class configuration command to change the packet IP precedence value. This setting
appears as set ip precedence in the switch configuration.
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE, a policy-map and a port trust state can both run on a
physical interface. The policy-map is applied before the port trust state.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Create a class map, and enter class-map configuration mode.
By default, no class maps are defined.
(Optional) Use the match-all keyword to perform a logical-AND
•
of all matching statements under this class map. All match criteria
in the class map must be matched.
(Optional) Use the match-any keyword to perform a logical-OR of
•
all matching statements under this class map. One or more match
criteria must be matched.
For class-map-name, specify the name of the class map.
•
If neither the match-all or match-any keyword is specified, the default
is match-all.
Because only one match command per class map is supported,
Note
the match-all and match-any keywords function the same.
