service-policy

This command attaches a policy to an interface in the inbound direction as indicated by the in parameter, or the outbound direction as indicated by the out parameter, respectively. The policyname parameter is the name of an existing DiffServ policy. This command causes a service to create a reference to the policy.

Note

This command effectively enables DiffServ on an interface in the inbound direction. There is no separate interface administrative 'mode' command for DiffServ.

Note

This command fails if any attributes within the policy definition exceed the capabilities of the interface. Once a policy is successfully attached to an interface, any attempt to change the policy definition, that would result in a violation of the interface capabilities, causes the policy change attempt to fail.

Note

Each interface can have one policy attached.
