The set firewall policer if-exceeding action discard command configures the action to drop the packets for a policer.

Command Syntax

set firewall policer <policer-name> then action discard

Parameters

Parameter	Description
policer <policer-name>	Specifies the policer name. The value is a string.

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.

admin@Xorplus# set firewall policer MyPolicer if-exceeding rate-limit 5000
admin@Xorplus# set firewall policer p1 then action discard
