Understanding QoS
When configuring policing on an SVI, you can create and configure a hierarchical policy map with these
two levels:
•
VLAN level—Create this primary level by configuring class maps and classes that specify the port
trust state or set a new DSCP or IP precedence value in the packet. The VLAN-level policy map
applies only to the VLAN in an SVI and does not support policers.
Interface level—Create this secondary level by configuring class maps and classes that specify the
•
individual policers on physical ports the belong to the SVI. The interface-level policy map only
supports individual policers and does not support aggregate policers. You can configure different
interface-level policy maps for each class defined in the VLAN-level policy map.

Is an interface-level policer
configured for this packet?
Verify if the packet is in the
profile by querying the policer.
