Usage Guidelines

When the user configures the rate limit or burst limit of an ACL-based traffic policer, the interface then drops the packets whose rate exceeds the rate limit value so that the traffic rate is limited within a proper range. The default action is discard if not configured.

Example

•   Configure the action to drop the packets for a traffic policer.
