Traffic Policing to avoid log message %CERM-4-RX_BW_LIMIT: Maximum Rx

Hi

We're trying to implement traffic policing to avoid following log message:

 

 

%CERM-4-RX_BW_LIMIT: Maximum Rx Bandwidth limit of 85000 Kbps reached for Crypto functionality with securityk9 technology package license.

 

Following the whitepages https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security-vpn/ipsec-negotiation-ike-protocols/118746-technote-isr-00.html#anc4 and this https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/quality-of-service-qos/qos-policing/19645-policevsshape.html

However we still get the log message, does anyone know what we did wrong?
This is our config.

@quadrabe use shaping, here is an example of the exact same scenario. You'd probably want to purchase the HSEC license, rather than rely on this workaround.

Hi

For the location this issue is happening the business will not invest in the HSEC license.

It's a good article but not valid for us as we have to apply an input service-policy. Shaping is only possible with output policies.
It is not possible for us the apply an output policy on the other side as it is ISP material.

It appears that you're using old IOS or an old platform, because in IOS-XE versions the CERM limit was changed to 250Mbps many years ago. The problem with CERM is that its measurement interval is very small, e.g. 1 sec or so. There can be microbursts and the 85Kbps limit is hit. Did you check show platform cerm-information?
