The DiffServ class defines the packet filtering criteria. The attributes of a DiffServ policy
define the way the switch processes packets. You can define policy attributes on a per-
class instance basis. The switch applies these attributes when a match occurs.
Packet processing begins when the switch tests the match criteria for a packet. The switch
applies a policy to a packet when it finds a class match within that policy.
The following rules apply when you create a DiffServ class:
• Each class can contain a maximum of one referenced (nested) class
• Class definitions do not support hierarchical service policies
A given class definition can contain a maximum of one reference to another class. You can
combine the reference with other match criteria. The referenced class is truly a reference
and not a copy since additions to a referenced class affect all classes that reference it.
Changes to any class definition currently referenced by any other class must result in valid
class definitions for all derived classes, otherwise the switch rejects the change. You can
remove a class reference from a class definition.
The only way to remove an individual match criterion from an existing class definition is
to delete the class and re-create it.
Note: The mark possibilities for policing include CoS, IP DSCP, and IP
