Figure 8-12. Example of How to Configure an Interface with a Service Policy
Checking Resource Usage. After you apply a service policy to an interface,
use the show policy resources command to verify the amount of additional
resources used and the amount of resources that are still available on the
switch. Classifier-based service policies (such as QoS, mirroring, or PBR)
share the same hardware resources with other software features, such as
ACLs, virus throttling, management VLAN, globally configured QoS policies,
MAC-based mirroring policies, and so on.
Use the displayed information to decide if you need to re-prioritize current
resource usage by reconfiguring or disabling software features to free the
resources reserved for less important features. For a detailed explanation of
the information displayed with the show policy resources command, refer to
the “Monitoring Resources” appendix in the Management and Configuration
Guide.
In Figure , the show policy resources command output displays the number of
hardware resources (rules, meters, and application port ranges) used by
classifier-based QoS and mirroring policies that are currently applied to
interfaces on the switch, as well as other software features.
