Service Policy Configuration Rules

Follow these rules when configuring a service policy:

• All policy map and class map names used in a service policy must be unique among all maps of that type.
• You can bind a service policy to multiple interfaces.
• You can bind a service policy only to physical ports and port-channel interfaces (LAGs). You cannot bind it to virtual interfaces.
• You cannot bind a service policy to an interface if a class map is not associated with the policy map referenced in the service policy.
• If a service policy is bound to an interface, and the policy class map lacks mandatory policer attributes (such as the CIR settings), the traffic on that interface is treated as conformed traffic. The packets on that interface are marked as green, no meter is allocated, and no statistics are available.
• BUM storm control and input service-policy features can coexist on an interface.
