`show policy`

Syntax

Syntax that shows information for all policies:

show policy [commands] [configuration] [vsx-peer]

Syntax that filters by policies applied to an interface or VLAN:

show policy [interface <IF-NAME> [in | out | routed-in] | vlan <VLAN-ID> [in | out]] 
            [commands] [configuration] [vsx-peer]

Syntax that filters by the named policy:

show policy <POLICY-NAME> [commands] [configuration] [vsx-peer]

Syntax that filters by the globally applied policy:

show policy global [commands] [configuration] [vsx-peer]

Syntax that shows statistical information in the form of hit counts:

show policy hitcounts <POLICY-NAME> [interface <IF-NAME> [in | out | routed-in] |
                      vlan <VLAN-ID> [in | out]] [vsx-peer]

Syntax that shows statistical information in the form of hit counts for the globally applied policy:

show policy hitcounts global [vsx-peer]

Description

Shows information about your defined policies and where they have been applied. When show policy is entered without parameters, information for all policies is shown. The parameters filter the list of policies for which information is shown.

Available filtering includes:

The content of a specific policy.
All policies applied to a specific interface.
All policies applied to a specific VLAN.
The globally applied policy.
The inbound (ingress) or outbound (egress) direction.

To display policy statistics, use the show policy hitcounts form of this command.

Command context

Operator (>) or Manager (#)

Parameters

interface <IF-NAME>: Specifies the interface name.
vlan <VLAN-ID>: Specifies the VLAN.
in: Selects the inbound (ingress) traffic direction.
out: Selects the outbound (egress) traffic direction.
routed-in: Selects the routed in traffic direction. Not applicable to a policy applied to a VLAN.
<POLICY-NAME>: Specifies the policy name.
commands: Causes the policy definition to be shown as the commands and parameters used to create it rather than in tabular form.
configuration: Causes the user-configured policies be shown as entered, even if the policies are not active due to policy-definition command issues or hardware issues. This parameter is useful if there is a mismatch between the entered configuration and the previous successfully programmed (active) policies configuration.
global: Selects the globally applied policy.
hitcounts: Selects the policy hit counts (statistics).
[vsx-peer]: Shows the output from the VSX peer switch. If the switches do not have the VSX configuration or the ISL is down, the output from the VSX peer switch is not displayed. This parameter is available on switches that support VSX.

Authority

Operators or Administrators or local user group members with execution rights for this command. Operators can execute this command from the operator context (>) only.

Examples

On the 6400 Switch Series, interface identification differs.

Showing information for all policies:

switch# show policy
           Name
  Sequence Comment
           Class Type
                    action
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           my_policy
        10 This is my QOS class.
           class1 ipv4
                    dscp af21
                    drop
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Showing a policy as commands:

switch# show policy commands
policy my_policy
       10 class ip my_class1 action dscp af21 action drop

Showing the globally applied policy:

switch# show policy global commands
policy my_policy
    10 class ip my_class1 action drop 
apply policy my_policy in

Showing policy hit counts (statistics):

switch# show policy hitcounts my_policy
Statistics for Policy my_policy:
Interface 1/1/1* (in):
           Hit Count  Configuration
10 class ip my_class1 action dscp af21 action drop
                  20  10 match any any any count
* policy statistics are shared among each context type (interface, VLAN).
  For routed ingress, they are only shared within the same VRF.
  Use 'policy NAME copy' to create a new policy for separate statistics.

Showing policy hit counts (statistics) for the globally applied policy:

switch# show policy hitcounts global
Statistics for Policy my_policy:
Global Policy:
           Hit Count  Configuration
10 class ip my_class1 action mirror
                  20  10 match any any any count
* policy statistics are shared among each context type (interface, vlan, VRF).
  use 'policy NAME copy' to create a uniquely-named policy

Showing policy hit counts with conform rate from my_policy applied inbound:

switch# show policy hitcounts my_policy
Statistics for Policy my_policy:
Interface 1/1/1* (in):
           Hit Count  Configuration
10 class ipv6 my_class1 action cir kbps 1024 cbs 2000 exceed drop [1024 kbps conform ]
                   -  10 match any any any
* policy statistics are shared among each context type (interface, VLAN).
  For routed ingress, they are only shared within the same VRF.
  Use 'policy NAME copy' to create a new policy for separate statistics.
