> # Configuring Policer Actions (SRC CLI)

> 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.

> The type of action that you can create depends on the type of policy rule. See Policy Information Model.

> Use the following configuration statements to configure policer actions:

> `
> policies group name list name rule name policer name {
>   bandwidth-limit bandwidth-limit ;
>   bandwidth-limit-unit bandwidth-limit-unit ;
>   burst burst ;
>   description description ;
> }
> `

> To configure a policer action:

> 1. From configuration mode, enter the policer action configuration. For example, in this procedure, pa is the name of the policer action.
>    `
>    user@host# edit policies group junos list firewallFilterPolicer rule pr policer pa
>    `
> 2. (Optional) Configure the traffic rate that, if exceeded, causes the router to take the indicated packet action.
>    `
>    [edit policies group junos list firewallFilterPolicer rule pr policer pa]
>    user@host# set bandwidth-limit bandwidth-limit
>    `
> 3. (Optional) Configure the type of value entered for bandwidth limit.
>    `
>    [edit policies group junos list firewallFilterPolicer rule pr policer pa]
>    user@host# set bandwidth-limit-unit bandwidth-limit-unit
>    `
> 4. (Optional) Configure the maximum burst size. The minimum recommended value is the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the IP packets being policed.
>    `
>    [edit policies group junos list firewallFilterPolicer rule pr policer pa]
>    user@host# set burst burst
>    `
> 5. (Optional) Enter a description for the policer action.
>    `
>    [edit policies group junos list firewallFilterPolicer rule pr policer pa]
>    user@host# set description description
>    `
> 6. (Optional) Verify the policer action configuration.

>        [edit policies group junos list firewallFilterPolicer rule pr policer pa]
>        user@host# show
>        bandwidth-limit 1048576;
>        bandwidth-limit-unit bps;
>        burst 15000;
