E-Series
On one interface, you can configure the rate limit or rate police command for a VLAN or you 
can configure the 
rate limit or the rate police command for the interface.
For each physical interface, you can configure six rate police commands specifying different 
VLANS.
After configuring VLANs in the rate police command, if this error message appears: 
%Error: Specified VLANs overlap with existing config. 
Check to if the same VLANs are used with the 
rate limit command on other interfaces. To 
clear the problem, remove the 
rate limit configuration(s), and re-configure the rate police 
command. After the rate police command is configured, return to the other interfaces and 
re-apply the 
rate limit configuration.
