activate-rule at-byte-count
activate-rule at-byte-count
To specify the number of bytes that a subscriber can transmit during the monitoring period, use the
activate-rule at-byte-count
command in enforce-rule configuration mode. To reset the rule to its default
values, use the
no
form of this command.

Syntax Description
Defaults
The
kbytes
value defaults to 0 (no limit),
upstream
direction, and enforce-rule QoS profiles are not
automatically applied (
no

)

Command History
Usage Guidelines
The
activate-rule at-byte-count
command specifies the maximum number of bytes that a subscriber can
transmit during the monitor window period (see the
monitoring-duration
command). If a subscriber
transmits traffic beyond this maximum value, the CMTS considers the subscriber to be over-consuming.
If the optional
enforce
keyword has been specified for an enforce-rule, the CMTS automatically
switches over-consuming subscribers to the enforced QoS profile (see the
enforced qos-profile
command). The enforced QoS profile remains in force during the penalty time period (see the
penalty-
period
command).
kbytes
Maximum number of kilobytes that the subscriber can transmit in the
specified direction during the monitoring period. The valid range is 1
to 4294967 kilobytes, with a default of 0 (no limit).
Note
To reset the byte count to 0, use the
no
form of this command.
downstream
Specifies that the byte count applies to traffic in the downstream
direction.
upstream
Specifies that the byte count applies to traffic in the upstream direction
(default).
enforce
(Optional) Specifies that the enforce-rule QoS profile should be
applied automatically if a user violates their registered QoS profile.
Note
You must have previously configured a registered QoS profile,
using the
registered qos-profile
command, before being able
to use the enforce option.
