Restrictions for Layer 3 features in VCS mode
For an overview of Layer 3 restrictions in VCS mode, refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide.
Port-based Policier
For an overview of port-based Policer and associated policing parameters, binding rules,
limitations, and other considerations, refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide.
Configuring Policer functions
To configure port-based Policer functions, perform the following steps.
1. Configure a class map to classify traffic according to traffic properties that you will configure
with the policing parameters while adding the class map to a policy map. Refer to
2. Configure a police priority map to add color-based priority mapping. Refer to
3. Configure a policy map to associate QoS and policing parameters to traffic belonging to
specific classification maps. Each policy map can contain multiple classification maps. This is
an optional step if you want to change the default CoS values for color-based priority mapping.
Refer to
4. Bind the policy map to a specific interface. Refer to
“Binding the policy map to an interface”
Configuring a class map
The classification map or “class map” classifies traffic based on match criteria that you can
configure. If traffic matches this criteria, it belongs to the class. Currently, the only match criteria is
“match any.” With a “match any” criteria, traffic with any MAC address, IP address, VLAN ID, IP
precedence, Access Control List (ACL) security, or other identification belongs to the class.
When you add the class map to a Policy Map, the traffic defined by the class is subject to actions of
the QoS and policer parameters configured in the Policy Map. For more information on policer
parameters, refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide.
To configure a class map, perform the following steps.
