If you select
Vendor Class ID (DHCP Option 60)
, enter the Vendor
Class Identifier (Option 60) of the matched traffic, such as the type of
the hardware or firmware.
If you select
User Class ID (DHCP Option 77)
, enter a string that
identifies the user’s category or application type in the matched DHCP
packets.
Exclude
Select this option to exclude the packets that match the specified
criteria from this classifier.

The Policer Setup Screen
Click
QoS > Policer Setup
to open the screen as shown next. Use this screen to
configure QoS policers to limit the transmission rate of incoming traffic. This lets
you prevent high priority packets from choking off all other traffic.

DESCRIPTION
Add
Click this button to create a new entry.
No.
This is the index number of this entry.
Active
Select the check box to enable the policer.
Name
This shows the descriptive name of this queue.
Regulated
Classes
These are the policer’s member QoS classes (classifiers).
Meter Type
This shows which QoS metering algorithm the policer uses to shape traffic.
Parameter
These are the rates and burst sizes against which the policer checks the
traffic of the member QoS classes.
Action
This shows the how the policer has the Device treat different types of
traffic belonging to the policer’s member QoS classes.
Modify
Click the
Edit
icon to go to the screen where you can edit the policer.
Click the
Remove
icon to delete an existing queue. Note that subsequent
rules move up by one when you take this action.

Meter Type
Select how the policer shapes the traffic of the member QoS classes.
The
Simple Token Bucket
algorithm uses tokens in a bucket to control
when traffic can be transmitted. Each token represents one byte. The
algorithm allows bursts of up to
b
bytes which is also the bucket size.
The
Single Rate Three Color Marker
(srTCM) is based on the token
bucket filter and identifies packets by comparing them to the
Committed Information Rate (CIR), the Committed Burst Size (CBS)
and the Excess Burst Size (EBS).
The
Two Rate Three Color Marker
(trTCM) is based on the token
bucket filter and identifies packets by comparing them to the
Committed Information Rate (CIR) and the Peak Information Rate
(PIR).
Committed
Rate
Specify the committed rate. When the incoming traffic rate of the
member QoS classes is less than the committed rate, the device applies
the conforming action to the traffic.
Committed
Burst Size
Specify the committed burst size for packet bursts. This must be equal
to or less than the peak burst size (two rate three color) or excess burst
size (single rate three color) if it is also configured.
This is the maximum size of the (first) token bucket in a traffic metering
algorithm.
Excess Burst
Size
Specify the burst size of packet bursts above which the device will
perform the non-conforming action.
Peak Rate
Specify the peak rate. When the incoming traffic rate of the member
QoS classes is greater than the peak rate, the device applies the non-
conforming action to the traffic.
Peak Burst
Size
Specify the peak burst size. This is the maximum size of the second
token bucket in the trTCM.
Conforming
Action
Specify what the Device does for packets within the committed rate and
burst size (green-marked packets).
Pass
: Send the packets without modification.
DSCP Mark
: Change the DSCP mark value of the packets. Enter the
DSCP mark value to use.
Partial
Conforming
Action
Specify what the Device does for packets that exceed the committed
rate and burst size but are within the excess burst size or peak rate and
burst size (yellow-marked packets).
Pass
: Send the packets without modification.
Drop
: Discard the packets.
DSCP Mark
: Change the DSCP mark value of the packets. Enter the
DSCP mark value to use. The packets may be dropped if there is
congestion on the network.
Non-
Conforming
Action
Specify what the Device does for packets that exceed the excess burst
size or peak rate and burst size (red-marked packets).
Drop
: Discard the packets.
DSCP Mark
: Change the DSCP mark value of the packets. Enter the
DSCP mark value to use. The packets may be dropped if there is
congestion on the network.
