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;

    }

}
