Two-Color Policer Configuration Overview
Starting in Junos OS Release 15.1X49-D40 and Junos OS Release 17.3R1, you can configure and apply single-rate two-color policers to Layer 3 traffic.
For vSRX Virtual Firewall, SRX1500, SRX1600, SRX2300, SRX4100, SRX4200, and SRX4600 firewalls, we recommend limiting the traffic rate in a given policer to 80 Mbps or less.
Table 1 describes the hierarchy levels at which you can configure and apply them.

|---|---|---|
| Single-Rate
Two-Color Policer Defines traffic rate limiting that you can apply to Layer 3 protocol-specific traffic at a logical interface. Can be applied as an interface policer or as a firewall filter policer. |

Basic policer configuration: [edit firewall]
policer policer-name {
if-exceeding {
bandwidth-limit bps;
burst-size-limit bytes;
}
then {
discard;
forwarding-class class-name;
loss-priority supported-value;
}
}
|
Method A—Apply as an interface policer at the protocol family level: [edit interfaces]
interface-name {
unit unit-number {
family family-name {
policer {
input policer-name;
output policer-name;
}
}
}
}
Method B—Apply as a firewall filter policer at the protocol family level: [edit firewall]
family family-name {
filter filter-name {
interface-specific; # (*)
from {
... match-conditions ...
}
then {
policer policer-name;
}
}
}
[edit interfaces]
interface-name {
unit unit-number {
family family-name {
filter {
input filter-name;
output filter-name;
}
... protocol-configuration ...
}
}
}

| Logical
Interface (Aggregate) Policer Defines traffic rate limiting that you can apply to multiple protocol families on the same logical interface without creating multiple instances of the policer. Can be applied directly to a logical interface configuration only. |

Logical interface policer configuration: [edit firewall]
policer policer-name {
logical-interface-policer;
if-exceeding {
bandwidth-limit bps;
burst-size-limit bytes;
}
then {
discard;
forwarding-class class-name;
loss-priority supported-value;
}
}
|
Method A—Apply as an interface policer only: [edit interfaces]
interface-name {
unit unit-number {
policer { # All protocols
input policer-name;
output policer-name;
}
family family-name {
policer { # One protocol
input policer-name;
output policer-name;
}
}
}
}
Method B—Apply as a firewall filter policer at the protocol family level: [edit firewall]
family family-name {
filter filter-name {
interface-specific;
term term-name{
from {
... match-conditions ...
}
}
then {
policer policer-name;
}
}
}
