Example: Hierarchical Policy Quick Configuration

To configure hierarchical policies for interface groups, use the following steps:

1. In Global Configuration mode, create rate limit profiles of the type hierarchical.
2. In Global Configuration mode, create policy parameters of the type hierarchical.
3. In Global Configuration mode, create external parent groups.
4. In Global Configuration mode, create a policy list and use the external parent groups and policy parameters to create a hierarchy of rate limits.
5. In Interface Configuration mode, attach the policy list to the interface.
6. (Optional) In Interface Configuration mode, specify values for the hierarchical policy parameters used by the policy list.
