Applying a Policer

Apply a two-color policer or tricolor policer to a logical interface to prevent traffic on the interface from consuming bandwidth inappropriately. To apply two-color or tricolor policers, include the layer2-policer statement:




layer2-policer {

input-policer policer-name;

input-three-color policer-name;

output-policer policer-name;

policer-name;
}

You can include these statements at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]

Use the input-policer statement to apply a two-color policer to received packets on a logical interface and the input-three-color statement to apply a tricolor policer. Use the output-policer statement to apply a two-color policer to transmitted packets on a logical interface and the output-three-color statement to apply a tricolor policer. The specified policers must be configured at the [edit firewall] hierarchy level. For each interface, you can configure a three-color policer or two-color input policer or output policers—you cannot configure both a three-color policer and a two-color policer.
