Usage Guidelines
The
match protocol
command is supported only in ingress direction. The maximum allowed entry is 1.
Definitions of traffic classes are based on match criteria, including protocols, access control lists (ACLs),
input interfaces, QoS labels, and experimental (EXP) field values. Packets satisfying the match criteria for a
class constitute the traffic for that class.
The
match protocol
command specifies the name of a protocol to be used as the match criteria against which
packets are checked to determine if they belong to the class specified by the class map. Available protocol
names are listed in the table that follows.
The
protocol-value
argument supports a range of protocol numbers. After you identify the class, you may use
the
match protocol
command to configure its match criteria.
