Name

access-list rate-limit — global

Synopsis

access-list rate-limit access-list{precedence | mac-address | 
    mask precedence-mask}
no access-list rate-limit access-list
            

Configures

An access list for Committed Access Rate (CAR)

Default

None

Description

This command selects packets for CAR policies based on IP precedence or MAC addresses. There can only be one command per access list. If you need to assign more than one precedence level to a single access list, use the mask keyword.

precedence

The IP precedence level to apply to the access list.

mac-address

The MAC address to apply to the access list.

mask precedence-mask

The precedence mask to apply to the access list. To calculate the mask, convert the precedence value to an eight-bit mask. A precedence of 0 is encoded as 000000001; a precedence of 1 is 00000010. Then AND all the bit values together to get a single mask. For example, the mask that covers a precedence of 1 through 3 would be 00001110. When you have the binary mask, convert it to a two-digit hexadecimal number; for this example, the mask would be 0E.

Example

! This command assigns a CAR access-list of 10 to packets with an IP 
! precedence of 1 through 3.
access-list rate-limit 10 mask 0E
