Hi all,
I am looking at my MPLS service-provider CE router's configuration.
On the CE router's wan facing interface (uplink to Service provider's network) there is an ingress policy-map being applied.
However, the policy-map has just class-map definition without any further action.
interface GigabitEthernet0/1 service-policy input policy-in policy-map policy-in class ce_ef_input class ce_af3_input class class-default
What's the purpose of this ingress policy then ? classify and do nothing ?
Regards,
Noob

Is there any associated class-map configuration? If not, then this is doing absolutely nothing. if there is, the only thing they could use it for is for traffic statistics (See how much traffic is hitting each class),

They are ”marking” the traffic so they can create a policy on the egress PE router.

My apologies I thought it was on the LAN interface for some reason. But If there is no configuration under the class then there is no policy. Sorry for the confusion.
