This chapter provides information to configure DSCP classification policy, Dot1p classification policy and MPLS EXP classification policy using the command line interface.
These policies allow the user to define a policy/template that maps the packet priority bits, like Dot1p, IP DSCP and MPLS EXP bits, to forwarding class and profile. The template can then be used in a SAP ingress policy to define the ingress classification of flows to forwarding class.
The support available on different 7210 SAS platforms is described in Table 28.
Policy Name | Support Available |
Dot1p-classification | All platforms with sap-ingress policy and network-qos policy. |
DSCP classification | All platforms with sap-ingress policy and network-qos policy. |
MPLS-EXP classification | Only 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C with network-qos policies |
This policy is used define the map of IP DSCP values in the IP header of the packet to forwarding class and profile (ingress profile).
This policy is used define the map of Dot1p values in the Ethernet frame to forwarding class and profile (ingress profile).
This policy is used define the map of MPLS EXP values in the MPLS header of the packet to forwarding class and profile (ingress profile).
The following is a sample output of the enabling DSCP classification policy, Dot1p classification policy, and MPLS EXP classification policy.
