Policer Configuration

To configure policers, you include statements at the [edit firewall] hierarchy level of the configuration:

[edit]

firewall {

    policer policer-name {

        filter-specific;

        if-exceeding {

            bandwidth-limit bps;

            bandwidth-percent number;

            burst-size-limit bytes;

        }

        then {

            policer-action;

        }

    }

    family family-name {

        filter filter-name {

            accounting-profile name;

            interface-specific;

        }

        prefix-action name {

            count;

            destination-prefix-length prefix-length;

            policer policer-name;

            source-prefix-length prefix-length;

            subnet-prefix-length prefix-length;

        }

    }

}
