Configuring Filter-Specific Policers

You can configure filter-specific policers within the firewall configuration. Filter-specific policers allow you to configure policers and counters for a specific filter name.

When you configure the filter-specific statement, a single policer set is created for the entire filter. All traffic matching the terms of the firewall filter with the action policer goes through that single policer. The default is a term-specific policer in which a single policer set is created for each term within the filter. All traffic matching the terms of the firewall filter with the action policer goes through the part of the policer that is specific to that term.

To configure filter-specific policers, include the filter-specific statement at the [edit firewall policer policer-name] hierarchy level:



[edit firewall policer policer-name]

filter-specific;

If the filter-specific statement is not configured, then the policer defaults to a term-specific policer.

You can apply the filter-specific policers to the family inet.
