The router reserves the bandwidth you specify in the parent policy shape or police command for the
exclusive use of the PVC or VLANs to which the policy is applicable. The router does not share unused
bandwidth with other PVCs or VLANs. However, the actual shape rate the router applies to the child
traffic classes might differ from the rate you specify in the parent policy. For example, the router might
map a specified shape rate of 10.5 Mbps to 11 Mbps. Use the show policy-map interface command to
determine the actual shape rate applied.

service-policy Command

For hierarchical policies, the service-policy command is used to attach:
•
•
•
When attaching child policies to child or parent policies, do not specify the output or input keyword
when you enter the service-policy command. For example, enter the following command:
Router(config-if)# service-policy policy-map-name
When attaching parent policies to interfaces, subinterfaces, or virtual circuits, enter the service-policy
command and specify the output or input keyword as described below:
•
•
Note The router does not support nested and three-level hierarchical policies on inbound interfaces, and it
does not support hierarchical input policing on outbound interfaces.
