Configuring Traffic Policing in Layer 2 VPNs

You can use policing to control the amount of traffic flowing over the interfaces servicing a Layer 2 VPN. If policing is disabled on an interface, all the available bandwidth on a Layer 2 VPN tunnel can be used by a single CCC or TCC interface.

For information on how to configure traffic policers, see the Routing Policies, Firewall Filters, and Traffic Policers User Guide.

To enable Layer 2 VPN policing on an interface, include the policer statement:

If you configure CCC encapsulation, you can include the policer statement at the following hierarchy levels:

  • [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family ccc]

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

If you configure TCC encapsulation, you can include the policer statement at the following hierarchy levels:

  • [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family tcc]

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

For information about how to configure the encapsulation type, see Configuring the Encapsulation Type.
