User Guidelines
This command must be preceded by a police command. If the conform-color
command is not entered, the police algorithm uses the color-blind version,
meaning in the incoming color is ignored. The conform-color command can
be used with any of the three police algorithms. In the simple algorithm, only
the conform color class can be configured. The conform color class pre-colors
packets as green prior to metering. Non-conforming packets are pre-colored
red prior to metering. With the single-rate and two-rate police algorithm, the
conform color class pre-colors packets as green and the exceed color class pre-
colors packets as yellow. Non-conforming packets are pre-colored red. Per-
colored packets are then metered and re-colored based upon the meter
parameters.
Color conforming classes must be one of the following types:
• Primary COS
• Secondary COS
• DSCP
• IP Precedence
This includes both the input and color aware classes. The conform color class
may not be the same as the input class, nor may the match criteria be of the
same type. The input class map may have a match type of “any.”
The exceed color class may only be specified for the two-rate police
algorithm.
