Applying Layer 2 Policers to Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

To rate-limit traffic by applying a policer to a Gigabit Ethernet interface (or a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface [xe-fpc/pic/port]), include the layer2-policer statement with the direction, type, and name of the policer:

[edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port unit 0]

layer2-policer {input-policer policer-name;input-three-color policer-name;output-policer policer-name;output-three-color policer-name;}

The direction (input or output) and type (policer or three-color) are combined into one statement and the policer named must be properly configured.

One input or output policer of either type can be configured on the interface.

Examples: Applying Layer 2 Policers to a Gigabit Ethernet Interface

Apply color-blind and color-aware two-rate TCM policers as input and output policers to a Gigabit Ethernet interface:

ge-1/0/0 {unit 0layer2-policer {input-three-color trTCM1-cb; # Apply the trTCM1-color-blind policer.output-three-color trTCM1-ca; # Apply the trTCM1-color-aware policer.}}

Apply two-level and color-blind single-rate TCM policers as input and output policers to a Gigabit Ethernet interface:

ge-1/0/0 {unit 1layer2-policer {input-policer two-color-policer; # Apply a two-color policer.output-three-color srTCM2-cb; # Apply the srTCM1-color-blind policer.}}

Apply a color-aware single-rate TCM policer as output policer on a Gigabit Ethernet interface:

ge-1/0/0 {unit 2layer2-policer {output-three-color srTCM3-ca { # Apply the srTCM3-color-aware policer.}}
