Setting Up Policing

Use the set port police command to enable or disable policing for ingress traffic on a port. For information on how policing works, see "Ingress Policing" earlier in this chapter.

The syntax for this command is:

(configure)# set port police {{<mod-num> | <mod-swport-range>} [..., {<mod-num> | <mod-swport-range>}] | all-ports} queue <queue> {bit-rate <rate> normal-burst <normal-burst> | disable}

Table�197:�set port police Command Parameters �
Parameter
Description
<mod-num>
The slot number of a module. If you specify <mod-num>, policing is enabled for all ports on the module in the slot that you specify.
<mod-swport-range>
The slot number of a module, and, either a port number, or a range of port numbers having the format Px-Py. For example:
  • To specify port 1 on the module in slot 3, enter 3/1.
  • To specify ports 1 through 5 on the module in slot 3, enter 3/1-5.
If you specify <mod-swport-range>, policing is enabled for the port or range of ports on the module in the slot that you specify.
all-ports
All ports in the chassis. If you specify all-ports, policing is enabled on all modules in the chassis.
<queue>
The queue number, which can range from 0 to 7.
<rate>
The maximum bits per second that you want to assign to the queue.
For Fabric mode 1, enter:
  • 0 to disable the queue
  • Or

  • 220 Kbps to 1.5 Gbps
For Fabric mode 2, enter:
  • 0 to disable the queue
  • Or

  • 270 Kbps to 1.5 Gbps
<normal-burst>
This threshold sets the maximum size of burst that is guaranteed transfer.
The normal burst can range from 0 to 15,000. Avaya recommends a setting of 4.
disable
