Hi samc,
What do you mean by "produces no output" that there is no output at all or no hits to the policy ?
Have you tried these commands :
>show firewall filter RATE-LIMIT
It should produce this output :
Filter: RATE-LIMIT
Policers:
Name Bytes Packets
LIMIT-10Mbps-1 0
If you issue the command :
>show interfaces reth0.1111 extensive
There is an output just before the last one called "Input Filters" that should name the input filters applied to the interface.
