| 8.4.2 |  | Individual policers |

Individual policers apply the bandwidth limits specified in the policer separately to each matched traffic class. This type of policer is configured within a policy map using the police policy-map configuration command.

The format of the

police command on the Catalyst 3550 is as follows:

> police rate-bps burst-byte [exceed-action {drop|policed-dscp-transmit}]

The

police on an IOS-based router operates in a similar fashion except that the actual DSCP values are specified as part of the command line rather than being specified as a separate translation table, as is the case on a Catalyst Switch. IOS-based routers also permit IP Precedence to be set.
