Re: policy-map: police vs police cir

Thanks Carlos, both commands do the same thing then.

Now, if i type "police 1000000 pir 2000000", IOS changes that to "police cir
1000000 pir 2000000".

It looks to me that there is no reason at all to use "police 123456". For
consistency and clarity "police cir etc..." can be used all the time. Am I
right ?
