# Configuring Policer Actions (C-Web Interface)

The policer action specifies rate and burst size limits and the action taken if a packet exceeds those limits. You can create policer actions in JUNOS policer and JUNOS filter policy rules.

Each policer action has a packet action. The packet action specifies the action taken on a packet that exceeds its rate limits. You configure packet actions within policer actions. There are four types of actions that you can configure:

- Filter—Packets are discarded.
- Forwarding class—Packets are assigned to the forwarding class that you specify.
- Loss priority—Packets are assigned the loss priority that you specify.
- Parameter—The action specified by the parameter is applied. Before you assign a parameter, you must create a parameter of type packetOperation and commit the parameter configuration.

To configure a policer action:

1. In the side pane, select a JUNOS policer or JUNOS filter policy rule.
2. From the Create new list, select Policer. Type a name for the action, and click OK.
3. Enter information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.
4. From the Create new list for the policer action, select Packet Action. Type a name for the action, and click OK.
5. Expand the packet action, and click on the type of packet action that you want to configure for this policer action.
6. Click Create, enter information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.
