Policy-map on a transit vlan

[owenear123]

Hi everyone!

I need to limit rate in a transit vlan on a 4500X (without SVI on this switch).

And it's possible to apply a service-policy input/output on a vlan:

vlan configuration XXX
  service-policy input limitrate
  service-policy output limitrate

policy-map limitrate
   class class-default
     police 5000000

On what do input and output policies apply? What is the input and the output traffic in this case?   

Thank you!

The policy you defines allows 5MB of traffic inbound and outbound. 

However, if your service-policy doesn't work as planned, configure:

'qos vlan-based'

on the physical interfaces (port channels, trunk, or access ports) belonging to that Vlan.

Yes, it seems so.

Thanks!

With policy-map on an interface (per vlan) It looks much clearer and works well. 

My config:

interface Port-channelXX
  vlan-range XXX
    service-policy input limitrate
    service-policy output  limitrate
