> # rate-limit-profile

> #### Syntax

> To create or modify a rate-limit profile:

> [ no ] profileType rate-limit-profile profileName [ rateLimitType ]

> To specify a rate-limit profile in a policy in classifier-group mode:

> [ no ] [ suspend ] rate-limit-profile profileName

> To create a hierarchical rate-limit profile:

> [ no ] rate-limit-profile profileName [ two-rate | one-rate ] hierarchical

> To specify a rate-limit for an external parent group:

> rate-limit-profile profileName

> no rate-limit-profile

> #### Release Information

> Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
> hierarchical keyword added in JUNOSe Release 7.2.0.
> Parent Group Configuration mode added in JUNOSe Release 8.0.0.

> #### Description

> From Global Configuration mode, creates a rate-limit profile and enters Rate Limit Profile Configuration mode. The no version deletes the rate-limit profile.

> From Classifier Group Configuration mode, creates a rate-limit profile rule in a policy list. The no version removes a rate-limit profile from a policy list; the suspend version suspends the rule; the no suspend resumes a suspended rule.

> | Note: The Classifier Group Configuration mode version of the rate-limit-profile command replaces the Policy List Configuration mode version, which may be removed completely in a future release.

> From Parent Group Configuration mode, creates a parent group in a hierarchy.

> The hierarchical keyword creates a hierarchical rate limit. The no version removes a hierarchical rate-limit profile.

> #### Options

> - profileType—ip, ipv6, l2tp, or mpls; for backward compatibility, if you do not specify a profile type, the router creates an IP profile
> - profileName—Name of the rate-limit profile
> - rateLimitType—One-rate or two-rate

> #### Mode

> Classifier Group Configuration, Global Configuration, Parent Group Configuration
