17.2. Remark Policy Command Reference

This command creates a text description stored in the configuration file for a configuration context.

The description command associates a text string with a configuration context to help identify the context in the configuration file.

The no form of this command removes any description string from the context.

This command creates a new remark policy of the specified type.

The following types of remark policies are available:

The remark-type of the policy also determines the values user is allowed to configure in the policy and also the QoS policy with which this remark policy can be associated with. See Table 69 and Table 70 for more information about remark policy.

This command specifies the forwarding class name and provides the context to configure the marking value for the FC. Based on the type of remark policy created, the FC command allows the user to specify the appropriate marking values. The fc command overrides the default parameters for the forwarding class to the values defined.

The no form of this command removes the forwarding class to marking values map associated with the fc. The forwarding class reverts to the defined parameters in the default remark policy.

This command explicitly defines the marking of the DEI bit for fc fc-name according to the in and out of profile status of the packet (fc-name may be used to identify the dot1p-value).

If no de-value is present, the default values are used for the marking of the DE bit, as defined in the IEEE 802.1ad-2005 standard. For example 0 for in-profile packets, 1 for out-of-profile ones.

In the PBB case, for a Backbone SAP (B-SAP) and for packets originated from a local I-VPLS, the command dictates the marking of the DEI bit for both the BVID and ITAG.

If this command is not used, the DEI bit should be preserved if an ingress TAG exist or set to zero otherwise.

If the de-value is specifically mentioned in the command line, this value is to be used for all the packets of this forwarding class regardless of their in/out of profile status.

This command explicitly defines the egress IEEE 802.1P (dot1p) bits marking for fc-name. When the marking is set, all packets of fc-name that have either an IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1P encapsulation use the explicitly defined dot1p-value. If the egress packets for fc-name are not IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1P encapsulated, the dot1p command has no effect.

DEI marking must be enabled using the de-mark command along with this command for the command to take effect. When de-mark command is configured along with this command, then the DEI bit is marked in the packet to indicate the profile of the packet. The DEI bit is marked to 0 to indicate in-profile/green packet and 1 to indicate out-of-profile/yellow packet. If the force de-value parameter is specified then the DEI bit is set to specified value for all packets.

If the no form of this command is executed then software will use the dot1p-in-profile and dot1p-out-profile if configured, else it will use default values.

This command allows to mark on an egress the in and out of profile status through a certain dot1p combination, similarly with the DEI options. It may be used when the internal in and out of profile status needs to be communicated to an adjacent network/customer device that does not support the DEI bit.

This command explicitly defines the egress IEEE 802.1P (dot1p) bits marking for fc-name. When the marking is set, all packets with in-profile status (or green color) of fc-name that have either an IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1P encapsulation use the explicitly defined dot1p-value. If the egress packets for fc-name are not IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1P encapsulated, the dot1p command has no effect.

If DEI marking is enabled using the de-mark command and the command dot1p dot1p-value is used to configure the dot1p value, then this command has no effect. In other words, enabling DEI marking has precedence over this command and the system ignores this command.

When this command is used, the DEI Bit is left unchanged by the egress processing if a tag exists. If a new tag is added, the related DEI bit is set to 0.

When the dot1p dot1p-value command is used and de-mark is enabled, it means that the dot1p-value is used for the entire forwarding class. These two variants of the command are mutually exclusive. In other words, this command is mutually exclusive to use of the command 'dot1p dot1p-value'.

The no form of this command sets the IEEE 802.1P or IEEE 802.1Q priority bits to 0.

This command allows to mark on an egress the in and out of profile status via a certain dot1p combination, similarly with the DEI options. It may be used when the internal in and out of profile status needs to be communicated to an adjacent network/customer device that does not support the DEI bit.

This command explicitly defines the egress IEEE 802.1P (dot1p) bits marking for fc-name. When the marking is set, all packets with out-of-profile status (or yellow color) of fc-name that have either an IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1P encapsulation use the explicitly defined dot1p-value. If the egress packets for fc-name are not IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1P encapsulated, the dot1p command has no effect.

If DEI marking is enabled using the de-mark command and the dot1p-value is configured, then this command has no effect. In other words, enabling DEI marking has precedence over this command and the system ignores this command.

When this command is used the DEI Bit is left unchanged by the egress processing if a tag exists. If a new tag is added, the related DEI bit is set to 0.

When the command dot1p dot1p-value is used and de-mark is enabled, it means that the dot1p-value is used for the entire forwarding class. These two variants of the command are mutually exclusive. In other words, this command is mutually exclusive to use of the command dot1p dot1p-value.

The no form of this command sets the IEEE 802.1P or IEEE 802.1Q priority bits to 0.

This command allows to mark on an egress the in and out profile status through a certain dot1p combination. It may be used when the internal in and out of profile status needs to be communicated to an adjacent network/customer device that does not support the DEI bit.

This command explicitly defines the egress IEEE 802.1P (dot1p) bits marking for fc-name. When the marking is set, all packets with in-profile status (or green color) of fc-name that egress out of QinQ SAP only (that is; SAPs configured with two VLAN tags explicitly defined, e.g. SAP 1/1/5:10.100) use the explicitly defined in-profile and out-profile dot1p-value.

This command has no effect for egress packets sent out of all other non-QinQ SAPs; for example, Dot1q SAP and NULL SAP. Additionally, if the egress packets for fc-name are not IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1P encapsulated, this command has no effect. In other words, this command takes effect, only when the node adds 2 tags to the packet on the egress.

This variant of the command is mutually exclusive to the use of dot1p-inner command. In other words, user has a choice to use either this command or the dot1p-inner command but not both together.

If the no form of this command is executed, default remarking values are used for marking the inner VLAN.

This command specifies the in-profile DSCP name for the forwarding class. When marking is set, the corresponding DSCP value is used to mark all IP packets with in-profile status, on the egress of this forwarding class queue.

When multiple DSCP names are associated with the forwarding class in the policy, the last name entered will overwrite the previous value.

The no form of this command reverts to the factory default in-profile dscp-name value for policy ID 1.

This command specifies the out-of-profile DSCP name for the forwarding class. When marking is set, the corresponding DSCP value is used to mark all IP packets with out-of-profile status, on the egress of this forwarding class queue.

When multiple DSCP names are associated with the forwarding class in the policy, the last name entered will overwrite the previous value.

The no form of this command reverts to the factory default out-of-profile dscp-name value for policy ID 1.

This command specifies the in-profile LSP EXP value for the forwarding class. The EXP value will be used for all LSP labeled packets requiring marking the egress on this forwarding class queue that are in-profile.

When multiple EXP values are associated with the forwarding class at network egress, the last name entered will overwrite the previous value.

The no form of this command reverts to the factory default in-profile EXP value.
